That! Right there! Is why Will Donkey needs to get more than reading glasses.

Sure, I need a pair of prescription eyeglasses, hopefully in 2026 I'll get to that when time permits.

And, again, we all make mistakes from time to time.

Will Donkey spends his money at the dentist, with a decorator, and on a landscaping company.

"Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne" by Katherine Rundell (September 6, 2022)
https://www.amazon.com/Super-Infinite-Transformations-Donne-Katherine-Rundell/dp/0374607400

There is an informative article about the book at: https://www.theguardian..com/books/2022/apr/15/plague-poems-defiant-wit-and-penis-puns-why-john-donne-is-a-poet-for-our-times

We found this passage to be worth thinking about:
"Donne is often said to be a difficult poet. But if he is difficult, it is the difficulty of someone who wants you to read harder, to pay better attention. And when you have read and reread them, the poems open |ore4rCL they salute you. The pleasures of Donne are akin to the pleasures of cracking a safe: there is gold inside. And besides, why should it be easy? Very little that is worth having is easy. We are not, he told us, easy: we are both a miracle and a disaster; our lives deserve pity and wonder, careful loving attention, the full untrammeled exuberance of our imagination. When you have known vast horror, and still found glory, you do not compare loves to doves. You write: |ore4"Taste whole joys.|ore4

We would like to unleash the "full untrammeled exuberance of our imagination," but not through the hardships that Dunne had to experience.

Donkey wishes he could whistle.

If he directs compressed air into one ear hole I bet there would be a whistle.

That could be, but we would bet he is really good at opening beer cans with that fang.

Looks like the Donkey's down to four teeth in the most recent photo.

He must be living off of Tooth Fairy change these days.

So, I'm old and ugly now, I don't deny it. But at least I have the courage to get out there and bring my art, poetry and music to the public. Unlike most of the posters here.

As I've stated before, this is a poetry newsgroup, not a beauty pageant.

See JLA attachment below for an actual photograph of me from last month, without filter or photoshop tampering.
