The Blogs by Sir Richard

The Blogs


The nature of mankind is to collect and commune,
But frustration with one another can intervene too soon
A meeting place is necessary that is common ground to all
I place where families can meet, whether big, large or small.
“Impossible” you say, because in nature we’re so diverse
And that, of course, would seem to be humanity’s curse.
Yet clubs are formed and good money is spent
For people to join with hopeful intent.
With exercise and party, as the major call
Yet it is often very difficult to be able to please all
That is why it was found, for those who like to ride, walk or jog
That there is a sense of freedom, to drink a beer while sitting on a log.
No one is held responsible for house keeping, so to speak
And the odour from sweaty armpits does not tend to reek
Logs circled around a fire that is built on the inside
Can be quite warming and great for meat that’s “braaied”.
A place where men and women unite with their children and some dogs.
This ring of logs in our block, we now call “The Blogs”
Exclusive to those, who with their community, would talk.
And a jolly good excuse for those who like to run, ride or walk.
“On on!” is the runners cry all around the world,
Some with banners, and some with flags unfurled.
But come the time when the run is done
There’s a very good reason to have family fun.
