I feel the same about my old man, who wasn't addicted to the pokies, only the grog. He used to pinch glasses from the Forest Inn in Bexley, so he could drink his DA from a proper glass in his garage, away from Mum's prying eyes.<br />He didn't record purchases - Mum did all the shopping - but kept a record of every phone call he made or received and the guts of the conversation. To each his peccadillos.brendanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05024828476158567487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649330945127350139.post-51757179543141139582013-01-01T14:22:38.094-08:002013-01-01T14:22:38.094-08:00In my opinion one can never be over-critical, at a...In my opinion one can never be over-critical, at any age Rob!Larry Buttrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547951540936488599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649330945127350139.post-10526803378320693332013-01-01T13:03:34.553-08:002013-01-01T13:03:34.553-08:00G'day Larry.

A lot of the other poems this year seem to me to be the "random found" or the overly-academic variety. Maybe I'm just an over-critical grumpy old man...robwalkerpoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283006683929719872noreply@blogger.com
