Marty,

(you hide your brain under a bushell.) I offer my applause. I really enjoyed this. It sounds very original to me. Well done.

Yes I can just picture you trying to read in bed .

You've put it nicely - goes well with your comments in the "Remember when" thread. You're right . . . nostalgia aint what it used to be

Cheers, Marty

Clever laddie....

I think the light's still on under the bushell but no ones home

That's well done Marty. It's a bit lost on old codgers like me, because I don't follow all the technical details. Enough to get the idea I think

Much as I appreciate the portability and lightness of e books nothing IMO replaces reading a well thumbed, (or not) much loved book printed on paper. Taking an e-book to bed at night to read must be a major pain. Books are one of life's greatest pleasures and if one has a book to read and a shady tree to sit beneath one can never be bored or lonely. I can't bear to part with them once they are in my possession unless they are Mills and Boon....can't stand them

Enjoyed the sentiments in this quirky little poem

Cheers

Maureen

Oh but I did like that! A real plug in! That will make a great little performanc piece, I reckon.

I once wrote a poem in binary.

Kinda boring though. You had to be there to see it done otherwise it was just another piece of doggeral.
