Forewordish

It’s all been said has all been said before:

To say there’s nothing new is somewhat old.

Out there two hundred million blogs or more¹

Repeat the stuff we’ve otherwise been told

On how to make things fair or conflict end,

On who to play up front or who to dump,

On what makes planets spin or spoons unbend,

On when to bide your time and when to jump.

Each day each one of us is struck once more

With what might make the world a better place:

Solutions (count them – there are thirty four),

Eternal truths which we might all embrace.

So nothing’s broadcast here that’s not the norm

Except this nought’s expressed in sonnet form.

¹ In November 2013, WPVirtuoso blogging magazine indicated (with some neat graphics) that there were over 152,000,000 blogs (http://www.wpvirtuoso.com/how-many-blogs-are-on-the-internet/).
