  1. Ohhh, please let King Arthur and his stories be real. We could certainly do with that kind of hero and leadership in these times. I’ll come with you, John. ❤

    2. King Arthur always comes in the hour of greatest need and when his people call him. He has returned only he is incognito, in disguise.

      You will see him in ‘de skies’ if you look up.

      In the meantime he says ‘Just wait arthur mo’ or ‘half a mo’ for those in the know.

      Let him (or her) who has ears to hear, let him (or her) hear.

  10. A trip back in time, one that highlights the world of true heroes and how far the world has progressed. The heroes are make-believe, of course. There’s no possibility that people so pure-hearted could have been real. Or so we’re told.

  12. I’d love to join you, John, just to pick your brain to find out the roots of your bountiful imagination. This story is a great example. By the way, you might find a good suit of armor for your weekly jousting matches…

        4. I think that as your urologist looks after urine issues he was probably just taking the proverbial you know what.

          Drink lots of clean water and vitamin C from fresh fruit etc. to counter the nitrogen in urea. It’s a lot cheaper.

          It may however, ‘urine’ off the urologist as he makes less money.
