I REALLY LIKE TWENTY FIVE

I really like twenty five

Letters of the alphabet

I don’t care for the other one 

I don’t know y, I forget 

I WAS EAVESDROPPING ON THE BUS

 

I was eavesdropping on the bus

But I couldn’t quite get the gist

They mentioned Angry Birds

But was it the game or feminists

SOMETIMES MARKETING

Sometimes marketing

Really confuses me

For example “a free gift”

Aren't all gifts free?

LIVING ON THE ISLE OF WIGHT

 

For many, life isn’t very bright

Living on the Isle of Wight

It’s very much, the have nots

Outnumbering the have yacht’s

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – THE DAWN PATROL (1938)

 

“Dawn Patrol” is a war drama based on the story by John Monk Saunders and Directed by Edmund Goulding.

In 1915 in France, Major Brand (Basil Rathbone) has the burden of command of the 39th Squadron of the Royal Flying Corps sending pilots to almost certain death every day.

The young airmen go up daily in bullet-riddled “crates” and the casualty rate is appalling, but Brand can't make the high command at headquarters see reason, and if that was not enough insubordinate air ace Captain Courtney (Errol Flynn) and his sidekick Scott (David Niven) are constant thorns in Brand's side.

The film is a very gritty and accurate look at life, and death, in a Royal Flying Corps fighter squadron and has a strong supporting cast including, Donald Crisp, Melville Cooper, Barry Fitzgerald, Carl Esmond, Peter Willes and Morton Lowry.

THE WISDOM OF OLD AGE # 8

 

If you pursue happiness,

It will elude you

But if you focus on your family,

Or the needs of others too

Your work, meeting new people,

And church and friends too

Doing the very best you can,

Happiness will find you

BEST BEFORE 1980 # 7

I think I may be past my best

Because I popped out to get milk

And return home two hours later 

With a tin of paint and no milk
