Hear, hear Frank. It's terrifying. I'll never live long enough to understand why. You couldn't be more topical.

You've taken on quite a task.
I'm truly touched by the messages of support that have been shown on the thread
Friendliness has always been the hallmark of this place and that's what makes it special in my opinion. Thanks to everyone who's posted poetry and comments in my long absence. I'm so sorry my recent brief return didn't work out, but further complications meant using a computer was impossible. Thanks too to Dark Star for sending in the various updates
I have to do a lot of reading to catch up with the thread and I'm going to thoroughly enjoy it 
So far I've only read Biz's poem and I thought it was jolly good 
Hope life is getting back to normal for you. Glad you liked that verse, I was quite pleased with it myself.

Yes, life is slowly returning to normal, whatever that is. I must say the awful weather helped me - a lovely sunny spring would have made being out of action ten times worse. A bit of a selfish viewpoint but I can't help it
The first verse of your poem in particular flows really well I think. I'm going to read the backlog as it was posted and comment on every poem in chronological order. I briefly noticed one of Frank's mentioned JFK; I can't wait to reach that one as he's a President who fascinates me.

In the words of the immortal Brucie 'Good game, good game'

- just two questions; wouldn't the tune "just be gorgeous", and should it be Him, or is your "him" someone evil, such as Hitler?”

Apart from bans in the distant past it's the longest I've ever been off the thread.

I've never heard of John Hancock, so that's an interesting nugget of information
