An interesting poem that highlights the change in the woman's role in society over the last forty or so years, in the western world at least.

Nice one, Val.

	Gerry. - August 15, 2008 Life just isn't the same anymore Val. What thrilled us wouldn't register with the youth of today. Innocence is gone... Gerry xxx.
	sunken - August 15, 2008 Dear Ms. Val, I have a pair of plums you might want to squeeze (-; They're proper ripe and no mistake. Ahem. Do you think they'll throw me off this site eventually? s u n k e n he likes having his plums squeezed
	Veemem - August 15, 2008 Thanks Tina, glad you could appreciate the nostalgia, Val x
	orangedream - August 14, 2008 Another life, another age, perhaps. I too have a similar memory, scrumping apples from the 'posh' orchard of a nearby mansion in South West London in the nineteen sixties. Life has moved on - but cameos like this are priceless. Another life, another age, perhaps. Beautifully done, Val. Tina x

	sunken - August 15, 2008 Thanks for reading, Ms. Orange and Val (even tho the titles cocked up). I think I was a bit drunk when I subbed it. That's my excuse. I've tried getting it put right but I think I've cocked that up too )-: s u n k s should be left alone with a computer
	Veemem - August 15, 2008 I loved reading this again, it just cracks me up. I adore your honesty Mr Sunks, you know, it's the quiet taciturn types you have to watch... Val x
	orangedream - August 14, 2008 For once, Mr. Sunks, I am speechless! The graphics - the poem. Poetry in motion. Actually, there was a good song once called just that. And just to let you know, I shielded Mr. O's eyes from both the pome and the piccy. Excitement is not good for him. He has enough of that with his brassicas:-) Ms. Orange

	orangedream - August 2, 2008 You sure know your Debussy, Gerry. I'll give you that! Yes, Andrea used to play 'Girl with the Flaxen Hair' on piano and Clair de Lune, of course. Tina xxxx
	Gerry. - August 2, 2008 Tina, and that beautiful tune plays in the background--what a lovely picture you painted for us... Gerry xxx.

ox ox ox.... ��!

'sacharine' has either 2 'c' s or 2 aitches, i forget...

& ' stupid' is surely ' stoopid' ???

a vivid vingette vinagrette.

maybe a strict rhyme scheme could highlight the horrors & delights of this?

&&&& have you ever considered turning ambidextrous? this way the left/right dilemmaette could be avoided.

	Gerry. - August 12, 2008 Sunk, you could well be right -- but it's no excuse lol. Gerry. fully paid up...
	sunken - August 9, 2008 I blame the credit crunch (-; A nice flow to this, Mr. Gerry and no mistake. s u n k e n he left his heart in kylie's hotpants
	orangedream - July 30, 2008 Shall wait with bated breath, Gerry. Tina xxxx
	Gerry. - July 30, 2008 Tina, this rolls on to a natural conclusion--I will post the next part a little later. I am sure you will be okay ;-) Gerry xxx.
	orangedream - July 30, 2008 Well, Gerry, I must admit sometimes I'm a tad overdue on payments - like us all if we're honest. A meaningful allegory and one that we could all do with taking heed of, probably more times than we care to admit. Tina xxxx

A Gambian Experience

By orangedream
Published: July 23, 2008
Updated: July 24, 2008

In May of last year, 2007, my daughter, Andrea went on an exchange visit of teachers to the Gambia, arranged by the Beds and Herts postgraduate medical school, by whom she was employed as a Senior Lecturer. On New Year's Eve,2007, she died of a rare and disfiguring form of cancer she had fought for twenty years, since the age of just nineteen. This poem - a true story. And a tribute to one remarkable lady.

	Gerry. - July 27, 2008 Tina, maybe I will do that--my experiences could fill a book. Gerry xxx.
	orangedream - July 27, 2008 What a wonderfully profound thing to say - about calculators, I mean. We sure do have many blessings - things we tend to take for granted. Andrea learned so much in the short time she was there and at least one of her stories will live on through this poem. Thanks for reading, sunks and I hope you are having a lazy Sunday afternoon. Ms. Orange
	sunken - July 27, 2008 A smashing little piece, Ms. Orange. Do you think we have calculators over here so that we can count our huge number of blessings easier? I wonder what the processing power of an abacus is. A tip top piece and no mistake. s u n k e n sold to the man with excessive dandruff
	orangedream - July 25, 2008 Gerry - I know exactly what you mean. Andrea related many stories - most of them less happy than this little tale. I'd be interested to hear some of yours one of these days. Tina xxxx
	Gerry. - July 24, 2008 Sorry Tina--forgot to sign off-- Gerry xxx.
	Gerry. - July 24, 2008 Lady Orange, I have been to Gambia many times and could write a book about my experiences.(mostly not too good) I think your little poem says is all in a few words...
	orangedream - July 24, 2008 I appreciate your kind comment, Harry. Memories, I guess, are our most treasured possessions. Tina
	HarryB - July 24, 2008 A vignette to remember, Orangedream. I am sure there is tragedy here, but for the moment you've given us something to cherish and look back on.
