Although it's nice to eat
in town, decked out
in fancy clothes,

I'd rather sit and watch
the telly sometimes,
fiddling with my toes.

Joanie,
I am intrigued. Define fiddling with your toes. How exactly? My wife just sticks to knitting or tapestry before the TV. Naked toes: four nuns and mother superior out for a walk.
I really must write some shorter poems myself.

This is worthy of Spike Milligna, the famous typographical error! Lovely.

Best,

Mike

Smith, Paul and Mike - many thanks! It was just mental doodling while slouching.

Paul, you don't want to know anything definitive - detail would be too disgusting. I'm not proud of it.

Thank you for responding!
