DR DIP: LOYALTY (2)

Let me tell ya about presidential loyalty
That all these guys have pledged
It?s a bit like diplomatic royalty
And everything becomes alleged

"Cover my arse" says Donald Trump
And then I'll cover yours
"If not your fired!" I have your rump
Yep I'm counting scores

If one is to bullshit you need a good memory
Be careful what you say
Otherwise your job is totally temporary
Every dog will have its day

Presidential privilege has never been so prevalent
The longer this saga goes on
Its total sacrilege it is so evident
Honesty has completely gone

I DON'T RECALL! I can't remember!
Is a common catch cry
Let?s all hope it ends in November
And we end this one big lie!

DR DIP: TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE!
cya in another life!

DR DIP: I so remember once this was a writing site for poets and short story writers to share their works with those who share the passion of the written word be it in rhyming verse, non rhyming or prose plus fiction or non fiction short stories.
People made comments what they felt of each others work and would graciously say where they thought a work could be improved whetrher grammatically or poetically.
It was an enjoyavble place to visit.
Bu slowly poison tongue of political allegience and religion oozed its way into the site , especially catylized by the inauguration Of trump into the political equation
Everyone saw him as the breath of fresh air America needed.
No one bothered criticizing his track record as a bank rupt liar and charleton with a hidden agenda to better his own position in life and bring nepotism into the political occasion.
Suddenly people realized that the man liked to stretch the truth for his own benefit.
The people had the wool pulled over their collective eyes and started believing his stats of success in turning the economy and unemployment.
he does not mention the incereasing amount of homeless taking residence in the back streets and parks of California.
I so wish the economy was improving as a result of his policies.
To use the corona virus as a crutch for personal political gain is going to back fire and is outright disgusting.
The man continually is losing any respect or credibility one might have thought he had at the time of his inception.
Many now are disallusioned.
The corona virus is the great deterrent he needed to have and the more he ties to embrace optimism and light at the end of the tunnel the more he digs a deeper hole for himself then tries to justify his actions for the betterment of the people.
Next he will be stating this is the virus we had to have

just my thoughts read them while they are still up

DR DIP: IMMATURITY VERSUS WISDOM OF LIFE EXPERIENCES

Some people are quick to react to another's comment without completely understanding or reading it.
Knowledge pure through experiencing life itself as agains reading in textbooks and learning by rote does not necessarily denote a learned person.
AS much as I have the deepest respect for the younger generation I sometimes wish it was reciprocated.
Just because the older generation are not always computer literate or savvy does not mean they haven't experienced life before google and Wikapedia.
Just a little bit of respect for the knowledge that older folk may impart not learnt from any text book but merely experiencing life itself.

That's all I have to say on the matter

DR DIP: All one can ask around here is for consistency of the blatent hypocrisy and not pick and choose your victims.
I rest my case

DR DIP: MY PROFILE THOUGHTS

My profile thoughts are really clear
I hope we survive another year
This virus has really changed our lives
We hope and pray that one survives

So let me express in simple verse
My heartfelt feelings we now all immerse
In our lives here every day
Stay safe and well's all I can say

And think about, those we've lost
Wealth and greed have now been tossed
It's now survival of the fittest
This is now life, this acid test

So to all my friends, on this site
Let us fight together, this awful plight
We must unite and work as one
All look forward to a new rising sun

Let's hope tomorrow, brings better news
No more sorrow, more happier views
Blessed are, the aged and the weak
blessed are the heroes of whom I speak

Who thanklessly fight on each day
to find a cure to find a way
that can rid us of this terrible disease
which continually takes us to our knees

To those who are suffering financially
To those all struggling substantially
My prayers go out with all best wishes
We'll get through this, for what one misses

That beautiful rainbow after this storm
More sunny days ahead to keep us warm

DR DIP: LATEST FROM CORONA VIRUS HEADQUARTERS:
'ALL SEX HAS NOW BEEN BANNED"
"Couples caught holding hands, kissing or touching wee wees will be severely penalised"
Been married for 36 years and can't remember when I doid any of those things last!! lol

DR DIP: Well it finally happened.
After seven years of coming to this wonderful site and posting poems every night, I've finally written a poem/songparody that has only had one review of its two complimentary certificates.
I have a good inkling why lol.

The poem did not sit well with fifty percent of the Fanstory community obviously who are Trump supporters and the other fifty percent were too worried exposing their non allegiance or non support to those who support him.
Ah politics!.... the subject that can apparently sever friendships and cause angst on a poetry and writing site like no other haha.
Personally I thought it quite funny as a parody but each totheir own.
I suppose an apology by me as usual is required.

DR DIP: Mum and Dad and little Johnny and sister, Susan were sitting down for the night's dinner.
Tonight's dinner was a big surprise for them...Mum was serving up venison which they had never seen of had before.

Puzzled, little Susan pipes up and says 'Dad? What sort of meat is this?" to which Dad proudly exclaimed " Ok Susie, I will give you a hint" "It's what your mother often calls me".
At this hint, little Johnny promptly interjects before Susan has her first bite and yells.... "DON'T EAT IT SUSAN, IT'S AN ARSEHOLE!"

(Moral: Be very careful what you call your husband in front of the kids ok dear)

DR DIP: I NOW HAVE 8 LIVES LEFT
2 days ago at was at my son's place after a massive thunderstorm passed through the area with winds up to 150 ks an hour and hail stones asbig as golf balls,
A big tree branch had landed on his roof and he asked me to come around to help him rid of it.
Little did we know it had smashed about ten roof tiles and 3 of the ridge cappings and with an impending other storm it was now vital we replace the existing broken tiles before it rained.
The roof tiles were heavily glazed terracotta in a french patten and had not been on the house long before h ebought it some 4 years ago
but he had some spares.
We had all but replaced thebroken tiles barabout three soI was confident we could replace them before it rained.
I had been warned these highly glazed tiles are very slippery when wet.
We were both about to find out!
Aaron was further down the roof and over toward the ladder below him when I first heard him scream I"MGOING I"M GOING!
I looked around to see Aaron sliding down the pitched roof which was now like walking on ice and straight over the edge It was a 12 foot drop to the concrete path below and he had nothing to grab onto as he lay on his stomach slipping down the roof like a toboggin and over the edge.
All but 10 seconds later half way between me yelling to Aaron are you ok I started sliding from the apex or ridge of the roof gaining speed on my stomach as I slid.
All I remember was me going over the edge collecting the side colourbond metal fence taking the brunt of the initial first fall off the roof with my groin doing thesplits on top of it then been spun around upside down into the fence before falling the other six foot onto the concrete below. Other than my manhood beennearly taken out I jumped up off the ground with just a few scratches
There is a moral here for everyone..never stay up on a tile roof when it starts to rain! I miraculously live to tell the story as does my son who only sustained a sprained ankle.

DR DIP: As of today I will be following the rating scales and their definitions more strenuously.
I willaccept a 4 star review quite openly and never question or gribble about receiving one.
A good review with 4 stars is a good review it does not mean it a bad write.
We continually hold the bench mark at 5 or more nomatter what just to keep the peace ..Its now the accepted minimum.
The thing is what is seen in one person's eyes as just a good poem or story can be seen in anothers as excellent or acceptable and that my friends is interpretation.
Its not a matter of being ruthless or purely reciprocating its purely how a write affects the individual
Style of writeby many of our wonderful wordsmiths is now so predictable I am surely many can recognize those styles without an author's signature.
Thedash forcashattitude will never change with many but with over 800 members and some 400 active its obvious that many if not promoted to dollar status will never be read other than the two complimentary reviews.
You can deny it all day but the place is becoming a clique club for the popular and unpopular.
If one is not seen to fan as many of those 800 as possible and go on the law of averages their work will be seen by these if promoted heavily there works could belost in the backwoods forever
I am greatly in favour for that reason in increasing the complimentary certificates to at least 4.
hey this is just my point of view many will argue why change something not broken butI sincerely believe it is a change for the better. When you 'surf' the fanstory membership you would besurprised just how many wonderful wordsmiths whose work for various reasons is unpromoted are out there.
It is sad to see so many poets, purely to get page 1 and 2 exposure, actually buying member cent pumps with 'real' cash topromote their work to these pages.
This is NOT a gripe, just an observation and suggestion after spending nearly seven years coming here and STILL finding many wonderful wordsmiths hidden in the FanStory backwoods I had not realized.If one goes to the trouble to explore these backwoods one would be pleasantly surprised.
Personally I just don't have the time to spend 12hours reviewing but I love thewonderfulfriendsI have met on this site and are conversely disappoointed and saddened to see many leave or become inactive, disallusioned by the 'system'

respectfully dip

DR DIP: So here's the secret any Newbies who want tomake it on FanStory

Fan as many people as you can review for at least 12 hours a day and never show any political or religious leanings , always be very diplomatic and smile with your typing finger! lol

I have not ticked ONE box lol

DR DIP: The road to you may seem lost and now overgrown
That track once well worn, now undefined
The path of devotion that once was, now diminished
The journey back may be fraught with many obstacles
....but love will find the way
