[Zoe Richardson]

I love this! But what, exactly, is a bodger and a munrobagger? We have a lot of colloquialisms here in the Southern US, many from Scots-Irish roots. But these I've not heard of. Congratulations on your many accomplishments. My list would be much shorter!

[alanwgraham]

Thanks for your kind reviews. I guess that I've been lucky to have had more time to pursue all these interests. A bodger is someone who turns his hand to all sorts of DIY tasks. A munro IS Scottish mountain over 3000 ft so a munrobagger is someone who climbs them (282).
All the best,
Alan

[Zoe Richardson]

Ah! That explain the last name Munro. There are lots of Munros (or Munroe) in these parts.

[Kim S.]

Wow, I love this, nicely set up and written. Congrats on all the accomplishments

[alanwgraham]

Thanks Beckie. Mainly fun but we tend to be too anonymous iin the cafe.
Take care,
Alan

have a good rest of your day

[Stuart Munro]

Is it your C.V . Of what you’ve done in life , whatever , I like your poem ,thanks for sharing it

[alanwgraham]

Cheers,
Alan

[Stuart Munro]

It’s a pleasure to read it , thanks for sharing Alan

[Ranger Kessel]

Love the language.i reas the comments and improved my vocabulary. Thanks for this

[alanwgraham]

Thanks for reading Ranger. I know this isn't great literature but I was just trying to express how many of us underrate ourselves.
Cheers,
Alan

[Robert Haigh]

This made me smile. Some of these epithets could easily refer to me, but not all of them, of course. We are all individuals, with different tastes and different skills. Yet many of our tastes and skills are bound to overlap. I enjoyed the read.

[alanwgraham]

Thanks Robert. I'm glad you took something positive from this. My feeling was that many of us are more than we realise.
All the best,
Alan

[Red Brick Keshner]

This elicits respect and a new view of a person, any person really. Should we look closely at all the things we are and do, the list is not wanting of lines and stories. Thanks for sharing.

[alanwgraham]

Many thanks for your kind review Frederick. This wasn't meant too seriously but just intended to make us realise that too many of us underrate ourselves.
Take care,
Alan

[alanwgraham]

Thanks Lisa. WOW! You have an interesting life. I think we are too busy just getting on with living to stop and think about all our skills and activities.
Well done!
All the best,
Alan

[Lisasview]

Ha ha.. and that is only part of it but I began feeling uncomfortable putting more on..

[Aluppi Jampur]

We all have the ability to be and do so many things. I love this list.
I find myself envious of a few. Well done.

[alanwgraham]

Thanks chrome. I'm not an expert, just a dabble!
Cheers,
Alan

[Aluppi Jampur]

It's probably more fun that way. :)

[Kelly Scheppers]

You're a many faceted, intellectual individual! Perhaps you've encouraged us all to make up our own list!

[alanwgraham]

Thanks Kelly. This was just some fun and it's easy to do lots of things but not so well.
All the best,
Alan

[Patricia]

Oh my! You are an interesting human! This was fun, it made me want to put check marks next to the ones I am. Love the ending

[alanwgraham]

Thanks Patricia. Don't be too impressed - most of these I just dabble at but they're still fun.

They are fun

A very good poem that displays what many people are!

[alanwgraham]

Thanks. We are all different and are more than we might think.
