the toothbrush poem
Texting, how the youth rush Joyfully or fraught, Giving to the toothbrush Hardly any thought. We take them for granted, Firmly in the mouth Every morning planted Scrubbing north and south. Purple, plastic, shiny Mine is rarely seen, It's not big or tiny And my spare one's green. Like a soft breeze whistles, Like the Fonz so cool, Straight and full of bristles Is this little tool. Rather than the Channel UK breaks I've backed With the soap and flannel And the toothbrush packed. While there is no dull date Loving seaside views, What good is the Colgate With no brush to use? Cleaning teeth together We could make the news, Let's cheer on forever Toothbrushes we use! © |

Cleaning teeth together
We could make the news, Let's cheer on forever Toothbrushes we use! But over and above the buzzing, and in between the flossing, will you hear me shout.. "My battery is running out!"? |

Hahahahaha! I should be "Bizzy" more often as it's been lots of fun in here. Promise me you poets that if I do come in you won't stay away.
Now please believe me, it's only in your own interests that I urge you to forsake the electric toothbrushes and return to the old fashioned manual ones. You know perfectly well that we all need plenty of exercise, so don't be lazy - you know I'm only telling you this for your own good. |

By the way Musty, I've always had a problem with the time. When I log on at this time of the year the posts are two hours back, but in winter, they're one hour back. When I'm not logged in, the time shown is correct.
I've just got used to it.

How Strange
How strange one can be those on another level and with what they see base on logic or little sense stories from what place whence. |

Something is better than nothing Sandy. Just make sure you use a different hand on alternate days, otherwise you'll end up with one huge muscular arm and one flaccid one - not a good look.

Love
Come love, reveal your world, show me your dreams Where the lost boy finds the gates Of a Gothic castle lit by pale moonbeams And a maiden, patient, waits. © This is one of my favourite poems in your book. Hope you are feeling much better as I see you have been a bit 'off colour'. Great that Biz and others kept things going

Thank you Archiver. I found that I already had the "Automatically Detect" setting, but the location was "Azores, Cape Verde Islands"
for some unknown reason. I've changed it to "GMT, London etc."...........And it has worked. Thank you again, I would never have discovered that without your help.
