Cheers Phill and Jim, Today, Friday we have a big storm here and with the rough sea they have had to put Toa into a pool until it passes. I will attach a video taken on Wednesday.

Phill and Jim that is brilliant how you can turn a subject into words that flow. I love seeing words play out on replies to different posts. Food is a big part  of all cultures when I have been travelling. Our different experiences with food I find it to be very interesting.

Culture, race, and ethnicity.

One person's normal may seem to another eccentricity.

In my travels I love the place food plays.

My nana always had love on a plate.

Different dishes made to make people feel great.

Hospitality and food a great way to show love not hate.

Phill those Bankers can be a bunch of other uckers.

Cheers Jim and Phill , Thank you for your feedback. With all these cyber attacks and reliance on computers and the internet for  all sorts of things I wonder how safe the net is. I have a friend who has worked in banking for years he tells me that the banks are getting rid of branches and people to save money. Their trying to get people to do everything on line so they don’t have to pay for business real estate space also have less staff. I recently had to get something sorted with the bank as our local branch has been closed. I was made to phone the call center which took me nearly an hour as I had to wait for my call to be taken.  I had to listen to awful music and a voice every so often saying your call is value and we will be with you soon. I had to phone to make an appointment to talk to someone at the bank in the city. It was only  a few  years back you could just walk into the bank and talk to someone. Many of my friends use to pay their bills at post offices which are slowly been closed down around the country. Many of my friends don’t have computers so they have to pay an extra fee because they get their statements through the mail. Today many outfits here charge an extra fee if you want your invoice mailed out where as before everyone got their invoices in the mail without  an extra fee.  Maybe it is a weird theory of mine the over reliance on the internet could backfire in a big way with the cyber wars going on at the moment. The Kindergartens and some hospitals  here have had to go back to pen and paper while the computer experts try and sort out a mess caused by ransom ware and hackers.
To me it is a bad form of social engineering and a form of discriminations for the elderly. For my one hundred year old Mum banking and bill paying has become a nightmare for her.

I love that add on Phill.  Down here in Kiwiland it is winter while the rest of Chordie land is in summer most probably the best time to create songs and poems.     

I look forward to hearing Phill do this song. Jim you have a magic way with lyrics.  Hope you get over the flu soon Phill.     

There was a girl who had a ring in her nose.
And one in her belly.
She served vegetarian food .
From her trendy Deli.
Even though she was sweet.
With plenty to eat.
I prefer plates with meat.
Young men who saw her.
Bowed down at her feet.
Not for me.
The  thought of trying to kiss her feet.
As sadly her feet might be smelly.
And wouldn't go down well when I ate meat.
I loved her Deli.
All colorful  was her special jelly.
She served with cream, coffee and something sweet.
Maybe she should have a show on tele.
The girl with the deli.
And sweet looking feet.

Good Knight
Sir Phill
Your a  scribe and a scholar.
You give this page a good fill.
From the Capital of this  new said land.
I wish you good will.
And a shake of the hand.   
Keep up your writing.
My good man.

Good one Phill.
I once met a man who couldn’t speak.

Sadly he couldn’t reach his peak.

He couldn’t even make a squeak.

His shoulders were his peak.

Didn’t need a pillow.

Had no eyes to close.

Or nose between the eyes.

He never told lies.

He believed in the  truth,

Didn’t need  a dentist as  he had no tooth’s.

He was always going to be poor.

Never own a house and more.

As he could never get a head.

He never got embarrassed.

His face never went red.

Its not easy not having a head.
