Not "Draconian measures," S., but one fork, of course, is EDUCATION: e.g., travelling through India in the late 80s I noticed sign-posts saying "Have one or two, And that will do"; or, in the early 80s, at high school, we heard about "Getting off before Central" - Central Station in Sydney, i.e. And lets hope this issue is not "taboo" (above) in the climate summit which has just started in wonderful Copenhagen.
Poem 229 of 230: JOYS OF LIFE
Leightons, and other great art; Plumes of fireworks at night; The vivid reds of sunrise - Repeated at day's last light.
The beats through us of a drum; Winter's sun felt through closed glass; Handing in the last exam; Awakenings – alarmless!
The ball, off thee, whacks their net; When, to palms, leather has stuck; Orange juice during half-time; A warm bath to wash the muck.
Viewing set-over cricket; A golf ball, for once, well struck; Viewing velodrome cycling; From net-chord, levelling luck!
Sticks, chants, didgeridoo, Haunting harps, and all bagpipes; Clog, flamenco, tamure, Hula, and other dance types.
Out, by a cast, being told; In - taking tea and T.V.; Highland views that command rest; The buildings of Italy.
Thrifty plant-propagation; By a wave one's body hit; Upstream of camp - with paddle; By a fire - strongly lit.
Forest spent-leaves under foot; Tasting a host-nation's fare; Alcedo atthis at work; Just-bills being brought to bear.
Allegros when feeling low; An andante to wind down; Spoken French and chorused song; The quiet when out of town.
A stroll through a kept garden, Before Sunday's roast dinner; A pub game, drink and meal; One's team a comeback winner.
