  3. Hi Mouse, I really like your pic – you being invisible with your stylish hat. Very attractive and cool. And I got no doubts that you enjoy threatening random people all over the world. Otherwise, why would you welcome someone with two scary snakes! Anyway, I also believe that you are very kind. And thank you for everything. Such a pleasure to meet you.

    1. Hi Nebula. Thank you. I don’t recall where I found the invisible man pic but I knew the moment I saw it that it would be perfect.
      I never threaten 😉 I do however, like to play with people.
      The snake/snakes twisting back on itself is the original concept and idea behind this entire blog. Ouroboros, eternity, the twisting tail, reflection, etc
      I try to be kind, and that is all one can do. Thank you for the lovely comment.
      It’s a pleasure to met you as well.

      1. ‘I do however, like to play with people.’….you are the first person I have ever seen put this in writing…I like it…..I’m more than ready for playing games, as you have already discovered…boing boing

      2. I don’t lie. Banter gives the mundane spice.
        Who wants to reply to dozens of textbook comments, the same people who write them.

      4. I thought I would start using my name when I felt comfortable enough with my work to take credit for it.
        My real name is on a dozen sites now. Not hard to find.

      5. Your work is worthy for your real name to be associated with it…but I know how you feel

        Being flippant I could say gawd that Matthews character write some silly stuff…I have an excuse though M, I’m an Aussie…..we’re all silly down here

      6. I think it’s finally at a place where it’s me. Took a while.
        You seem to have figured out your style and added your name to each post.

      7. You have to work through things in your own way and time….for me, your work is worthy of your real name

        I guess because I’m flippant in nature the FCS title fell into place easily…….S allows a few serious to creep in…….A add my name to any of my own work……Quotes From the ‘FCS Book of Useful Proverbs’ are not my works which is why I don’t add my name……just want to share them

      8. Honestly, I expected to have quit by now.

        I was wondering about that. Some of those proverbs are pure gold and seemed familiar.

      10. I’m not one to do anything for long. Short attention span and all that. It truly is a wonder this blog is still going.
        How long you been at yours?

      15. Would be nice to think so but not holding my breath. I don’t write ‘proper’ poetry which is what you seem to have to write to get viewers and likes in quantity. You look. Most of mine get minimum views with just a handful of likes. I would have thought after a year things would have improved….sigh

        Having said that I mainly write just to amuse myself but a wider viewing audience would be nice…..

      1. I’ve been trying to listen to it for days. I want to get through it in a single fitting but I keep getting interrupted after a few minutes each time. I’m sure it will be amazing.

  8. Hey Mouse, how are things with you?! Just wondering what your email address is as I wanted to talk to you about maybe participating in my new BRILLIANT BLOGGER POET initiative?!

  11. Good morning Michael! National Poetry Month is coming in April and I’ve decided my theme is nonce forms – and I’m including your forms “The Tail” and “The Mouse” as prompts. I hope you don’t mind – I linked them to your posts and give you full credit. I’d love for you to join the fun!

  12. Hi, Mouse. Just a question that’s been puzzling me for ages. I’ve always enjoyed your writing and your blog since I first found it. I’ve often wanted to leave you a comment, but there doesn’t seem anywhere to do that. Am I missing something obvious, or is there a reason why you don’t invite comments? Just curious. No pressure. Hope you are well and having a good week. All the best, Ellie 😊

    1. Hey Ellie!
      Thanks for the kind words, always nice to get a positive response.
      I switched comments off a few years ago when I couldn’t keep up. It went from tens to hundreds then thousands and I realised I was spending more time answering comments than writing posts.
      I used to be on WordPress everyday but after a few major life changes I only manage to stop in a couple of times a week now. I didn’t think it was fair to leave people hanging for days or weeks on end for a response so unfortunately I had to make the cut.
      I do miss the comments. Maybe one day if things change and I find myself with more time I’ll put them back on.
      Hope that resolves the puzzle 😉
      All the best, mouse

      1. Hi, Mouse. I totally get that. I spend more time replying to comments than I do writing. I also dislike living people hanging on for replies for more than a couple of days, really. I spend more time on my laptop frantically trying to catch up with those than I do anything else in my life (perhaps a bit of a pathetic claim!). However, I’ve built some very close friendships through comments and replies and would hate to lose touch with those people. They mean a lot to me, but then, I’m a very senstive and affectionate soul.

        If ever you decide to go back to having comments when you have sufficient time to give to that task, you can sure I will be one of your first commenters. Thanks for explaining – it helped. Take care of yourself, Mouse. X 😊

      2. I left you hanging 😅 sorry, I didn’t expect a response. I haven’t been on for a while.

        I made a few friends on here as well but I noticed that my real life friendships were suffering due to the time spent on WordPress.

        Thanks. I really hope one day I can open the comments section back up. Until that day you can contact me here or Instagram.
        Take care,
        Mouse x

      3. Hello again, Mouse. I’m sorry that your real-life friendships suffered because of the time you spent on WP. We all have to prioritise what’s most important in our lives. I, too, spend a lot of time here, as I follow so many blogs and like to engage with their writers rather than just clicking the Like button, although this can be very time-consuming. So, I do understand where you’re coming from, and you have to do what’s best for you. It’s good to know that I can still contact you here. I have an Instagram account, but I last used it over a year ago. I’ve been trying to delete my Twitter account, but despite searching everywhere, I can’t see an option to delete my account. I’m curious if that’s a ploy from Twitter to keep you once they’ve captured you! Mmm … Take care, too, Ellie X

      4. Unfortunately there is only do much time in a day. Choices must be made.

        Insta msgs are more streamline. I have an X account too but I’ve found steering clear is the safest option. Tiktok on the other hand is the devil’s work. I had to delete that! Bottomless pit of time wasting scroll.
