Keep up the good work Jan you're a legend.  Here is my attempt at a poem using a couple of words on this month's list
              Custody And Anger
A male Tui bird sings for his wife
He loves her for life
Looking for nectar
He always respects her
Human husband and wife
Using cockney slang a trouble and strife
After bonding
You can have a good life
Or end up in strife
Not living your best life
Custody and power
When things go sourer
Over a sad child who has to cower instead of flower
For some happily forever after is a fable
While for others love is shown everyday
Around the kitchen table
An angry response
Instead of calm talk
Ruining a good time with a knife and fork
Be like a Tui
At the beginning of every day
Sing a happy song
Wish each other a good day
Let true love find a way
Have a good day
Don't let anger wreck your day.
Arrogance and vain conceit
Can put bad behavior on repeat

I have heard of it being alleged that certain bands back in the 70's and 80's used backstage musicians to fatten their sound.     

Cheers Richard ,  King Homeboy is a big guy with a big heart he also is a actor a short story writer a M C among many other things that should be an interesting Doco when it comes out.  I will attach a short  doco about his backstory and some of his early life struggles made back in 2015 here just in case anyone is interested.

Cheers Jan there is a lot of turmoil in the world. I just am thankful and feel blessed to be where I am at the moment. Having said that without feeling apprehensive I realise that we have to enjoy and treasure the moment when things are good because all roads have bumps in them. As many of the buskers around town tell me it is tough out there at the moment but despite that you have to remain positive. I will attach a busker talking to me about that here.

Thank you Grah now I know I have often thought that Dylan Reed would be a good name for a Band or a stage name for somebody.     

Good one Grah and nice to see the lady having a boogie and getting into your music. Fill in guitarist does a good job also.     

Thank you Richard for taking the time to listen and comment. With hindsight I think that maybe I could have taken a more lighthearted comedic approach to my poem song monologue about being grateful to live in New Zealand. Maybe the Fred Dagg approach I should have taken here is his example attached below.

EB keep up the good work are you going to record your uke group doing the song???     

Grah thats scary  with people now asking Siri for all the answers and AI writing our songs. Somehow it doesn't feel human to me but I suspect it will become a tool used by many.
I just got it to write this song about chordie. So  here is what AI wrote about chordie.
Verse 1
In a world so wide, where the sun meets the sea,
There’s a place called Chordie, where our hearts are free,
From the mountains of Canada to the shores of Spain,
Songwriters gather, like a sweet refrain.

Chorus
Oh, Chordie is the rhythm, and the magic in the air,
Songwriters from all nations, sharing love and care,
With every strum and every line, we weave our stories true,
Together we create a world, painted in every hue.

Verse 2
Underneath the stars, in the glow of the moon,
They’re crafting melodies, they’re singing their tune,
From the deserts of Dubai to the forests of the north,
It’s a symphony of cultures, each one a priceless worth.

Chorus
Oh, Chordie is the rhythm, and the magic in the air,
Songwriters from all nations, sharing love and care,
With every strum and every line, we weave our stories true,
Together we create a world, painted in every hue.

Bridge
A tapestry of voices, a harmony so bright,
In every song we write, we find a spark of light,
With a guitar in our hands and dreams in our hearts,
We leave our footprints in the music that won’t part.

Chorus
Oh, Chordie is the rhythm, and the magic in the air,
Songwriters from all nations, sharing love and care,
With every strum and every line, we weave our stories true,
Together we create a world, painted in every hue.

Outro
So here’s to the dreamers, the pen and paper crew,
From every corner of the earth, we’ll sing our truths anew,
In this grand mosaic, we find our place and role,
Forever and always, we are chordie, heart and soul.     

Good poem I enjoyed reading it. Two Worlds Apart interesting words Shivan. I think about differences and commonalities a lot.   How people who become adversaries because of their point of view forget about also their commonalities. Life has many layers and what appears simple can become very complex.  Birds of different feathers some fly some don't they all have to eat to survive.
Humans sometimes lose their way by becoming too focused on their differences while forgetting their similarities like having to eat to survive.     

Shivan thank you for your kind comments about my videos and other work feel free to call me Pete my actual name.
