Poem for Don

Has anybody heard from Don?

I wonder if there's something wrong,

I can't bear to think he's gone,

Perhaps he's stringing us along.

Well done with the Poem for Don, and the beautiful photo. I was wondering where he was too.

I've just switched pictures. I think Don would be more comfortable with this Hockney view.

Don has replied to my message and is ok but really feeling his age now. He’s virtually housebound but Smudge is keeping a close eye on him thank goodness. I don’t think he’s up to posting at the moment but who knows, maybe one day. I’ve told him to decide for himself and we’ll all be waiting.

Carole xxxx❤️🙏🏻

PS Don is still reading posts so that’s good. Xx

Your answer even rhymes Donald - Like Greethorn posted, "Don I hope you are reading this as this is what we ALL feel" and that is spot on.

Lovely to hear from you Don. You don't always need to rhyme. Whatever you write is always worth reading. You've helped me no end over the years and I'm sure others would say the same.

I've always loved your odes, of course, especially the twist at the end, but if the rhymes don't want to come at the moment, that's the way it is. If you fancy popping one on here now and again, I'd love to read it, but just to know you're ok is enough for now.

Love to you and Smudge xx

PS Socks sends hugs, purrs and licks to all!

🤣 Hi Don, you must do whatever is best for you (and Smudge😊). We all love your poems and reading them always cheers this old bag of bones up BUT that is about me and you must do what's right for you - not the rest of us. Just knowing you are as OK as you can be is enough for me. Love to you and the Smudge😊❤️❤️xxx

Don, we don't just love you for your rhymes! Although all of us appreciate them , I feel that sometimes some of us just associate you with them, which maybe puts pressure on you?

Please still be part of the family when you feel like it 😊 I hope Smudge is still giving you good company and keeping her eye on you 😘

I am so glad you replied my sweet , take care and drop us a quick line every now and again 😉

Love to you both, Laurie xx 🌻🌼🌻🌼

HI Greenthorn. I was thinking of Don and Smudge too and hope they are well. I miss Don's poems and his sense of humour. I love "Garrowby Hill" too . Thanks for posting 😀

So glad your poem, which said it all really, and Carole's messaging got results. So good to know Don is still with us and dear little? Smudge. Thank you for asking what many of us wanted to but were afraid to. xxxx
