Where is that Don the rhymer?
I know he's somewhere here
Unless his nipped off to the pub
For his regular pint of beer
He's over stayed his time here
But I've been running late
I missed him all of last year
And now he's eight- eight!
I noticed he was slowing down
And thought I saw my chance
But that pesky dog he has
Always warns him in advance
That dog is knocking on a bit
Perhaps I should take her
But she's got so many supporters here
I don't think I would dare
G.Reaper
Good morning Mr.D and Midge and keep an eye out for that very Grim Reaper!! No way need he think for one tiny second, that he is contemplating an enormous upset on our site here ..... without our Mr.D & Midge for our daily rhymes,well life would not be the same. I think the Grim Reaper (and isn't he grim as in G.R.I.M. ....i mean he hardly greets you with a welcoming smile does he?).
Dont you worry Mr .D. because Midge has your back and everyone here would notice by 1030am if you've not posted a rhyme, that something is a miss and we will find you and bring you back, safely to where you are very much needed!!👍💖🐿x
Perhaps I should change my name to 'Coughing Dodger'?
I'm still smiling Don! Love it! Chrys
Well the GRIM can keep his pesky hands of both Midge and Mr D, he is our daily laugh, for which I am badly in need of. Thank you Don for putting a smile on my face x😋
Beware Master Po he doesn't catch you in the pub
The beer would then taste bitter and you would miss out on the grub
But worry not cos we have our eyes on that fellow called Grim Reaper
And every time he comes around he sets off our alarm bleeper
We will turn up in our droves to move the bugger on
Cos he ain't never gonna deprive us of our super rhyming Don.

Aw! I can sleep peacefully now, thank you. 🤗x
No way is G. Reaper getting anywhere near you or Midge dear Don. Take care xxx 😍😇😘❤️
Grim I have two rude words to say
Which actually mean ‘go away.’
Cx
I can guess just what they are 
Haha love it
Don't even joke about it, Don, you know the saying - "I know we don't live forever, but I thought he would make an exception in my case".
Well I know we don't live for ever. That came as more of a shock than hearing about Father Christmas! 😮
Love the Grim Reaper pic .
I'm 16 years younger but I feel just the same when I'm under the weather which is more often as time goes on I think you to have all the support Midge is just your sidekick 🐕 (please don't tell Midge what I said take care.
Dilly, the only support I have keeps my hernia in place. Whilst I'm writing this Midge is getting my tea ready. I wouldn't dare tell her what you said. 😉
Re your hernia Don,, Tony's doctor didn't approve of them, have you heard this?
There are many different types of hernia, mine is abdominal and I hoped to have it fixed by keyhole surgery but they wouldn’t/couldn’t do that. It’s not a big problem.
I had one fixed Cap'n, just a little plastic patch (I assume) holds what needed to be held in place in the appropriate area - No biggie
Thats horrible --- but cannot help laughing . Send him away , Don.
You have reminded me, it is time for all the versions of A Christmas Carol, very good grim reapers.
Leave him alone, he’s not going anywhere for a long time
Hello Don. 😀
In Japan there are eight special birthdays celebrated between (and including) the 60th and 100th years. The 88th year (beiju,米寿). This is the character for rice 米, it means wealth, and much wholesomeness.
Your next special birthday will be your 90th (Sotsuju卒寿). Then your 99th year (hakuju,白寿) and following that your 100th year, (hyakuga 百賀). So you see you have not completed your cycle yet, and therefore cannot be taken by the reaper, though Midge is to be much praised for her efforts!
Love,
Cas xx 🙋🐕🐾💕
That is so reassuring Cas, thank you. I’m not too worried about ‘wealth’, I still have a bob or two left’, but that ‘wholesomeness’ sounds very attractive. 🙂
As for the 90th, 99th and 100th I got so excited I nearly expired on the spot, saved only by my recently discovered reaperproofness. 😍😘
I won’t ask you how you are doing, I expect you are fed up with answering that, I can tell from your words that you are doing exceptionally well.🧐😀x
I think all of us severe Lungie's no matter what age, Dread the Reaper, So Behold Don you still have a Spring in your step at 88, we all Want to be like you and reach 88, with Sound Mind, with a Midge to care of us. ( Yesterday he could have been at my Door) waiting all day for Meds that keep us going. Love to you & Midge. xxx
I read about your distress over the prescription business. Just a little initial thoughtfulness could have saved you from that. 😠
You’re not going anywhere Don, we won’t let you!
