Another Thing(06-07)Gets...
It gets my goat, that imprecision in speech is part of a wider Bamboozle; is what I'm saying. Think so
I've wondered(diff topic, meant to be) whether poetry is innately, of itself, a more truthful form of expression than many others.
And I was thinking that as well in relation to a rich guy Felix Dennis. Has 00's of millions, will be up there on The Rich List of The Sunday Times. Owns MAXIM mag, other things.
Spends several hours a day writing poetry, wonderful. THAT'S living the dream. Anyway he says somewhere: "Am I happy? No" He makes it clear he's in no doubt on that score. Adds, "I know many rich people, none of them are happy"
I just never came across so very lucid a statement of what to some wise peole may be one of life's verities.
Well impressed me!
Bye for now

Those 'nother things
I love how your blog zig zags - never knwo where u gonna go next. On the poet millionaires, Bet they write their poems on fifty pound notes. Is that possible? What colour are fifty pound notes? You seen one lately Ed? -Pete
Ha
That had me laughing out loud. I don't have paper-thin walls luckily.
I only know of ONE (poet-millionaire) , though in truth I did hear of another. May have been just turn-of-phrase with this other.
No I ain't seen a fifty pound note lately.
Mind there are wealthy people who haven't in the sense: (old acquaintance of mine used to say: 'I'm like Royalty, I don't carry money, but not for the same reason'). A Creative he was, yes
There's happiness in creating, we'll take comfort where we can get it
