Maeve Binchy owed the citizens of Dublin half her fortune in royalties because of how she famously evesdropped and stole conversations. Tony Curtis was the first person I heard to say all poets borrow and great poets steal. So when the text arrived reporting on a conversation between my grandchildren on the way home from school I couldn't resist. So here it is and as usual please read enjoy share and feedback.

I love this photo Peter! They look so happy and wild - love it! They overshadow your poem - but in this context thats a good thing :)

Grief is experience through the mundane. Simple but powerful. The accompanying image really compliments the poem.

Hi Peter,
A great observation! Social media can be a scary place... I also need to reduce my time there
Hugs,

A great one, Peter, in the context you describe. I don't read social media myself, I doubt my equilibrium could stand it. 'The balance of his mind disturbed' yes, I think it would be.

Yes, gossip is a weapon of mass destruction.
In my business as well as personal life I have zero tolerance.
