Thanks Sis sorry no rewards left on this one. Hope if you have time you will check out my Autobiography. I just made a slight addition to one of the chapters but I want to do more tomorrow. Look for 'The Little Dog That Wouldn't Let Go- Subtitle GOD NEVER LETS GO!" Sorry no reward on it atm.

I truly understand about rewards. I have a hard time reviewing enough for member dollars at times but that is ok. When the time is right I will be able to promote them. Teri

Well. Sankey, that picture sure got my attention more than the wording in your poetry, And appreciate your explanation to how you and others in Australia just have a different phrase for what is bothering a person, I understand, and take no offense to what you have grown up with, and it has been part of how you and other Aussies see things....You, definitely have that right!

Thanks for sharing your commentary about lack of sleep...Caressa_08

Thanks Caressa. We are all different all over the world. Even those who speak almost the same still have differences. And we won't get into what the South in Uncle Sam do to English hehe.

I will take you word for it that in Aussie land they do rhyme. I have been trying to pronounce them every which was possible and just can't get them to rhyme. LOL I did enjoy reading your poem

Thanks mate. Nice to see you along. I forget what part of US you are in? I reckon the South might have an even harder time with our differences as we do especially with the Texas panhandle and I think Florida is the same? I have a dear friend originally from Houma la now in Alabama and he messes up English like all get out! Jax Franklin has given me a dictionary of changes I need to do on it let you know when done.Cheers.

I enjoyed thoroughly your humorous poem. The author notes were no less amusing. Why don't you give some more shots of your poetic foray? There are not many here in FS who post humorous poems but I take poetic license at times to post whenever I am ready with my stuff. If some find it funny, I feel my efforts have been rewarded. So, please go ahead!

Thank you for the laugh. That picture is a holy mess but I loved it. Sleep is elusive when we get older. I just get up and enjoy alone time. Funny, clever poem. Thank you.

Yeah the pic as I think I explained is from off an old 40's Mug a friend gave me back then (65 now) it says "Life Begins at Forty" but I managed to snap a pic of the photo before I chucked the broken mug. I mainly used it for his bonnet hehe. Thanks for the great review.

LOL - I love your notes. Even in the U.S. people have different pronunciations from state to state.

As an insomniac (God, that sounds akin to a serial killer, LOL), I could relate to being grouchy from lack of sleep. A fun read. Hugs, Lou

Cute and humorous photo. Seems pops didn't get enough sleep and is very irritated. He is hoping for a chance to get back to sleep. Good luck on that pops. Liberty Justice

Awwww thanks so much. Been given some corrections I need to do from a couple of reviewers when they are done will let you all know. Glad you liked. I explained where the picture came from. Im wanted it for the bonnet on the old bloke's head hehe.

So good to hear from you. I really enjoyed this. Sometimes I get that "bee in my bonnet" so that I can't sleep. Maybe it's something I'm thinking of writing about or just some worry. I don't worry if I don't get a good night's sleep. I figure I'll make up for it the next night, and I usually do. Excellent wording in this--very conversational tone. Excellent rhyme. Keep going. judi
