A year's worth of poems, every week for 52 weeks, spanning 2023 and 2024, plus the year following, from August 2024 to August 2025.(provided I live that long, of course).
Thank you, Allan Charles. I've contested the Charlie Chaplin thing a couple of times, won once, if I remember correctly. But it's the kind of thing I try when bored and have nothing better to do - just doesn't seem to have happened lately.
The problem with expressing gratitude,
it often appears as mere platitude;
so common the wording of thank you,
it’s only just better than blank you.
And though there are no languages
where gratitude commonly languishes
without expression in one form or another,
there might be one we’re yet to discover.
In the end it’s probably best
to stick with the words of the rest,
and give a delighted impression -
do not stoop to a surly confession.
