ON MY MIND – by Des Kelly   “What’s up for us folk, in 2023, Nobody knows, as we all agree, I watch television, the A.B.C. News, but, most of their stories just give me the blues. Isn’t there, at least SOME good news in store, just take the S.E.S., A.D.F. people, and more, show us what THEY do and make us feel proud, I’ve had enough of Wars, for crying out, loud. Let’s all be Positive, Negativity’s a curse, at least we’re alive, and not in a hearse. SO, NOW LET ME WISH MY FRIENDS & FAMILY, THE BEST OF ALL NEWS IN 2023 WITH GOD’S HELP, OF COURSE”!!.
