Whilst not checking my posts for punctuation, etc., quite as carefully as my websites e.g., Gran. et al., I stand by my last post, and would only add an encouragement for other English tradies to participate in such poetry slams and, by reciting your verses in our traditional manner, do your bit to get our nation back on track.

THE WEEKLY WALKABOUT, E.G.

Poem 138 of 230: AN OPIUM

National Lottery passes -
    Slight chances to be richer,
    With lots more than thy neighbour,
    Gained without any labour -
    Keep the system in favour:
An opium of the masses.
