A tribute to Jeff's latest single, with a nod to our maestro's arithmetical skills:

Ticket holders streamed in through the gate -
"Jeff at Wembley, tonight! We can't wait!"
Was Jeff counting the throng
While composing his song?
"59,10538...!"

Here's one to support Timeblue 's and Horacewimp 's latest theory:

Surely Jeff deserves praise, and not censure
For telling the Press his adventures.
His mouth sometimes quirks
When he talks about work -
Is it shyness, or only his dentures?

Some forumheads have posted their ELO-related hopes for 2020. Could this one come to pass...?

At Christmas, our hearts are all stirred
When Roy's festive anthem is heard.
But when New Year's upon us
With Her Majesty's Honours....
Could it be Jeff will have the last word?!

watched an episode of Season 3 - The Crown last night, where Princess Margaret has to charm President Johnson and convince him to give the UK a bailout back in the '60s
how did she do that? challenged LBJ to a limerick contest

the winner starts off

There once was a lady from Dallas
who used a stick of dynamite as a phallus ...

you can imagine where it goes from there
or tune to Netflix if you dare
I just ask that you bear me no malice!

For those of you wondering why Helmut83 is in no hurry to return to us from his holiday in the countryside:

In the Argentine sun (between storms)
The swimming pool water's so warm
Helmut says: "I'd come back,
But a satisfied quack
Means the ducks have just eaten my forms..."

~~What a good idea, I hadn't thought about it~~ Yes, that's exactly what happened, Vlog! No gerbils here but the ducks have assumed their duties, you did a good job of turning reality into poetry. That's the reason I cannot return and I'm forced to spend summer in this horrible and stressful place.

Once I'm done reading my novel, taking a nap, going for a walk and taking my evening dive, time permitting, I may make another attempt at filling those forms.

Patrice the Gay Turkey approves of this. "Birds who evolved into swimming and fishing in the mud, bah, they are a shame to our class. If that's not involution then I don't know what it is. They had it coming with this ban. But when it comes to fashion, oh my god, they are like the coolest thing ever, so many colours and perfectly combined".

Well, coincidence or "Forecast", yesterday night we had an epic electric storm in the countryside. I should have taken the chance to play "Summer and Lightning", the scenario was perfect for it.
