What would I change in society? If I said nearly every thing that may be considered flippant, but in my opinion society is deteriorating at an exponential rate. Of course one cannot generalise, there are a lot of good socially responsible people, I know both of them! There is little respect for the elderly, manners are becoming nonexistent, consideration for others is becoming rare. If I could quote just one phrase to describe how low we have sunk, it would be that used in cafes and shops of all sorts “Can I Get” Please, someone tell me where this awful phrase came from, and what happened to “Please may I have”?
My little poem today was inspired by a visit to our local supermarket where people were walking around like zombies, often on their phones, as if no one else existed.

Toto’s

Toto’s here Toto’s there, I see Toto’s everywhere.

Toto’s in the supermarket, trollies parked in the aisle,

Or on the road driving like an air to air missile.

Toto’s on bicycles, riding on the pavement,

Toto with his dog leaving a little statement.

Toto’s leaving litter, anywhere but the bin,

Don’t complain, they’ll swear at you, and say it’s not a sin.

Toto’s steal you car, your money or your bike,

They don’t care what damage they do, they just do whatever they like.

Toto’s can kill without a thought or a care,

Toto’s are dangerous things, and so many, please beware.

Avoid Toto’s if you can and leave them well alone,

They don’t have a conscience, no morals do they own,

They never listen to anyone, not even their own mothers,

That’s why they’re called T.O.T.O’s Totally Oblivious To Others.
