your corner store is gone
along with your free biscuits.

Well I'll be, you've filled in a gap
In my vacant and irreligious brain
I did not know Noah lacked a brolly
It seems he wasn't expecting God's reign. ?

I thought you’d like some politics,
A bit of Marx and Hegel;
I wrote it over breakfast too,
Some tea and toasted bagel.

Ah dk, MC, Dorothy, you have opened a sad spot with me. I go past old closed 'corner stores' still standing here and feel sad. I remember the local grocer around the corner in my youth - she would let me dip into the tin biscuit box for a free one. Called past recently. Gone. Demolished. Now a car garage. At least the butcher still gives free fritz to the kiddies.......

You say UK went serfing
Serfing all the way
Lotsa fun and frolic
Shagging in the hay
I'm glad that we at that time
Were 10,000 miles away
Our girls escaped this shagging
Shagging in the hay
Now please don't dare go mention
Convicts at Botany Bay
You people sent to girl-shag
Shagging in the hay
I will say John I thank you
For source material

Breakfast, cereal

This poem paints a picture of the way things were, and for the sake of
quality of life, should be again.
Preferring village life to town life I deeply regret the passing of village shops, most are sadly gone now, but when they were available, they made village life viable.
Our present village is nearer to a town so, no shop - no village center - no contact with local people. How 'cold' is that?
It's a "progress" that we could do without.

Original item by d.knape
An insightful vignette of what has been lost to "progress" when the
small local business is abandoned by its customers who transfer
their money and loyalty to the big stores. I like to think
that the family concerned went on to enjoy happy and fruitful lives
away from the demands and short-sightedness to which they
fell victim. Here in the UK the popular TV series by its prolific
author Roy Clarke - "Open All Hours" - is set in just that sort of local shop/store....a
small business offering a little bit of everything that a customer might actually need on a day to day basis. The title
of the series says it all !

The second stanza sets a clear picture
"with guards that constrain" sounds chilling.

No, you cannot play with dolls
But why? You are a boy
I like to play with girls, my friends
And play with their pink toys
I cannot have you liking pink
But why? You are a boy
You must get used to liking blue
Trucks, planes (blue) for toys
It angers me these thoughts persist
Which try and brainwash kids
Don't force a gender thing on them
Let go, do what they bid

I recently talked to Benjamin about this tour for my Podcast Series 'Spoken Label' (Don't want to start spamming it all over but its easily found) and he is a lovely guy and poet. Looking forward to meeting him on tour.

I suppose this poem could be considered a sequel to Judith Kerr's most famous work. It was first published in the 'Play' anthology last year, by Paper Dart Press.

Wolfgar - I'm sorry. You seem to be very angry about something. I'm not sure what exactly. I thought we were having an interesting and enjoyable conversation. It seems not.
I've no interest in impressing you. I was interested in your your views on life, the universe and all that but ...
Go well. Peace to you - ><>

Thank you Greg for taking the time to review Many Skies Have Fallen. 'A Disused Shed in Co. Wexford' is one of my favourite poems by the way. It's one you can read again and again.
I'll be going over to Ireland in June to present the Lough Ree Sub Aqua Club with a cheque for £1600 from sales of the book.
