This poem reminds me that I don't need hope.

We know that dragons do not exist
So a man named George could not have killed one.
So is the whole thing a myth?
Probably, which is why we can't raise much enthusiasm.

By the by, Steve, I'd like your opinion of one of my fave Punk groups, the Stranglers?
They never seemed to get much notification, considering some of their fab tracks ( Five minutes-Burning up time-Strange little girl etc etc )
What I would describe as music with b*****ks!
Heres to your spitting good health 😄

I found this poem, quite a difficult one to extend any further but, it still gets your approvals, Hugh, Stephen, Holden, Manish, so that puts any doubts that I had, about favourable responses, to rest.
Thank you all.

A good poem, MC. I have a particular attachment to St George's Day; it was my Mum's birthday and my Dad's name was George! There are so many good things about England and Englishness and I've no problem with celebrating the 23rd. I hope you raised a glass or two!
It's just a shame that the oafish fringe has become so prominent in the celebrations.

Timely words. It can often seem that
any public event on behalf of anyone
but the English is OK with the chattering classes personnified
by that Labour front-bencher who
mocked a home-owner in the past for
displaying the national flag on their
premises. There has always been a
number who take satisfaction in this
way. Boorish indeed!

When I lived in Essex, I heard rumours of such things happening in Upminster, John. But no positive sightings, even on the hottest summer nights.

I love this, Leon. It encapsulates the surrealist world of Spike, who, for all his flaws and daftness, was a comic genius.
"Next week, Hamlet on Ice. It helps to keep it fresh."
"Someone is screaming in agony. Fortunately, I speak it fluently."
Great memories and a totally original poem.

Life truly does seem to speed up as one ages Helene,
As I age I seek contentment. A friend and I started our own religion (current membership 2) named the Pago-Buddhists.
Getting old is okay! if you don't try too hard.
A lovely piece by the way rightly attracting attention!

Very good, Tom. As a long-time non-resident, I'm always looking for the good side of England and it is there, if only in nostalgia. It's a shame that the public face is so dominated by right-wing boorishness

Hi Greg - It is rather tongue in cheek. On reflection I should have put Waterloo instead of Hastings. One can live in hope lol. Thanks for your feedback👍

I can't praise this too highly, Hélène. A beautiful, poignant poem.

I'm sure this poem is being ironic. You and I know, Tom, that any big celebration would only end in a punch-up. Thankfully it seems to have passed relatively peacefully. And, er, I don't think most of us regard Hastings as a glorious victory!

Thanks Landi,
I am not saying there haven't been times when I have lost heart and retreated from my conscience.
I used to practice my trade in an state of disconnection (which was difficult for me even then) I surpressed my emotions in order to survive both physically and mentally. I learned later in life that to live in such a state is damaging to some (not all) it depends on what you can live with in your head.
Consequently I slowly changed my attitude and awareness toward my own actions which opened a gate I can no longer close. It is a kind of awakening but also at times a curse.
David
PS, thanks for the likes folks.

Landi,
I've been on the wrong side often enough to know that mere participation hurts...that said I didn't watch from the sidelines, occasionally I even got it right.
Life is a bastard if you get involved...them's the breaks. When I eventually meet my bullet I'll be satisfied I lived to the almost full,
David.

Thankyou Leon and Graham for your thoughts.
I confess the inspiration for this masterpiece comes from 2 sources. Firstly, a tv programme about swingers and second, a brilliant song called “Dogging” by a group of women called Fascinating Aida.

This inferior effort of mine is in fact a song based on their tune but makes a marvelous poem - nothing short of what you would expect from me!
And thanks for the Likes, Bethany, Leon and Auracle.
