Turning Thirty
A Humourous Poem For A Work Colleague
These are a few words for anyone that has a birthday coming up, inspired by the story I wrote at the end of this and a work colleague's upcoming 30th birthday.
This is just some free form lines so hope you enjoy and are looking forward to many more birthdays.The music is the excellent "Pushing 30" by Peter Hammill.

The Summer I Was Chosen by a Northern Mockingbird
During the long, suspended days of the pandemic, a wild mockingbird began visiting my driveway and chose me, again and again. What started as a strange encounter became a brief, meaningful connection that I still carry with me.

Fun, whimsical & good counsel. (Although "A number's just a number" is what virtually every romance scammer spouts. I do so enjoy trolling them!)
This was wonderful!
