Nolan,
I'm sorry I'm reviewing this poem so late. It caught my eye.
After reading it I realize you are really good at sarcasm and speaking your mind.
Great work, Nolan.
I hope you had a very merry Christmas and a wonderful new year.
Blessings, friend,
Cindy

My life is made rich by the treasure I find in the wonderful relationships I have encountered as a member of FanStory. You are most certainly counted among them. Thank you for your wonderful review comments.

Beautifully written Nomi
And the message is as good today as since man picked a pebble.
I'm glad I came to be aware of your wisdom and talent.
Call me an honest schmoozer. :-))Z.

Comment from Jay Squires
I figured it's time to deliver in kind. You have been so generous and thoughtful to have read some of my scenes in NYCDoHD Spells Jobs, and I want to return the favor. Perhaps I should have picked one that was struggling to reach ATB. -- This one has no problems there. But then who wouldn't love the wisdom in your observation put to meter?
There are a lot of Okey-dokers left in this world, Nolan. You and I are privileged by the length of years, to have experienced enough of them to know what they are about.
Thank you for posting this, Nolan, and for your support of my endeavors.

I will never shy away from expressing my approval/disapproval when appropriate. I have enjoyed your writings for sometime now, and do so appreciate your welcome response to my own efforts.

Tell me, Nolan, is your picture from the cover of "Success Unlimited" or "Success" magazine? It's quite impressive!
-
It is actually a fake glamour shot taken on the strip in Vegas some years ago. I am about to take it down as I never meant to deceive anyone into thinking that I have ever achieved more success than I actually have.
-
Oh, hey, don't do that, Nolan! It is spiffy and you do have an impressive demeanor. I was one who read Success magazine and Success Unlimited when I was in the business world ... looking for ways to be more successful than I deserved.
No one else will even notice anything untoward about that picture.

Thanks, I guess that I will keep it up there for a while longer.
Comment from royowen
I like this poem, I think we tend to let go of "youthspeak" as we age. It's amazing how we can succumb to fashion or fad, and be seduced by "opinion". I remember reading a philosophical truth, that folly is still folly whether is committed by one or a million...okey doke? beautifully written Bro, excellent post, blessings Roy

Comment from Anne Johnston
"okey-doke" could certainly apply to all the calls and texts that we receive nowadays, attempting to extort money from us. This week I got a call that I needed to isolate because I had been in contact with someone with monkey pox. don't know what they will think of next.

Many times I wish I had no phone at all. Yes they are necessary, but they can also be a hassle when they are abused by unscrupulous people. Thank you for your review comments.
Comment from Begin Again
In this fast paced world of ours, where so many are trying to slide by their hustle, we don't know who to believe, what the truth really is, or who is trying to make us believe. We must think and rethink and researching till we find our own truth and then move forward.

I would say that you hit the nail solidly on its head. Thank you for your comments.
Comment from ESOSTINE
This poem is apt for me as my country goes into general elections in about two months time. It captures the way of the politicians when seeking for votes. We have them here many too. Well done, dear NOMI338.

Comment from Sanku
Okey dokey ..is generally said to mean Okay.This is new to me
The notes in hand reminds that here in India there is a rumour that the parties pay for voting (to poor people ) Nothing is proved .Anyway all political parties have the same agenda-poor people remain poor and middle class keep quiet and of course the rich get a lot

That sadly, is the way things have been for far too long. I would say that it is about time for a change.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
We say "okey dokey" in Britain which means "okay" and I am interested to learn of its origins and what it really means here. Politicians try and pull the whole over the eyes of the people, but it never really works, a poignant write, love Dolly x

An uninformed, uninvolved, uncaring populace is a gold mine for crooked politicians. Thank you for your review comments.
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, Okey-doke, hits our lives at many times and places. When we are in need of guidance, poor advisors will rise. If we need financial help, sharks will swim in. When we need someone to trust, the rest will arrive.
