There Are Creatures Here That Scratch And Bite,
Creep and Crawl And You Know That's Not Right
They Watch You Eat And They Watch You Drink
Then Without Warning They Poo And Stink

You Hear Rustling In The Undergrowth
You See Bushes Shake, You Shout An Oath
You Shrink And Faint At The Spiders Touch
As It Jumps You From The Shaking Bush

There Is The Buzz of A Honey Bee
It's A Mistake, It's A Wasp You Hear
It Touches, It Stings, Did Not Foresee
That This Place Is Somewhere You Must Fear

Whenever Will This Tormenting End?
That's The horror Of Sitting In Your Garden

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. Thereβs something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

When Big Bands Played on every station π»
When big bands ruled the world, with live broadcast each night. A slow world. A sentimental world. A world that believed in God. In LOVE. A world after the war that appreciated the small things, the community and most importantly family above all else. What a beautiful world that was of values. If we could only add progression to old school morality then maybe one would have less suffering. A book I read often from the 1950 states βif suffering made the world wise, a wise world it would beβ after the world wars what a wise world we were becoming. If progression could meet slowness, like the Italian say βthe art of doing nothingβ what a peaceful world we would have. Big Bands brought in peace in a time the world didnβt know the end, each night the news goes off, did a love one die? Is your family now just a Jayne or Joe doe somewhere out there? Well forget your troubles we are all in this together- here is Glenn Miller and his Big Bands singing itβs a blue world, the moonlight serenade begins for a hour where you forget your troubles and melt in with the big band. Once the war was over those late night broadcasts became coming home dances. For a moment to me that was a beautiful world. Radio Days. Glenn miller and his orchestra playing live lifting spirits. A beautiful world that must had been for that moment. To be alive and to be appreciative of every second God Has given you.

Miss Persephone's Manual to a Seemingly Ordinary Life
Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.

Great job on this one.
Beautiful artwork above!! I loved the whimsical tone to your piece Mike - I donβt know the Bow Wow Wow group, but I expect they might have helped. π πͺ΄ π³
LOL, I think was written for my kids. They get soooo annoyed at bugs when they're trying to sit outside. Great one!
Hahahahahahaha this was hilarious!
Or the joy.
Oh man, every beautiful thing has a drawback, I'm afraid π Well done!
Well done!!! Loved it!!πππ
