Yes OK. I take your point -
...and I'm an older man just now, and I'm too old for wars.
and we will like the folk we like, whatever be the cause
We all will hate the folk we shun
Not cat'gor-ising anywun.
People are just people, no need for modern laws.

Take a pinch of poetry , mix with nostalgia, stir vigorously ,add some pepper until the eyes water and give yourself a badge of total competence and inspiration to portray the times you describe so well Beno. That period gave us hope at a big price. Congratulations, much deserved.

I can imagine this being told in Stanley Holloway style before an
enthralled attentive audience in some old music hall. The dastardly
devil gets his deserved come-uppance!

Are you quite sure this is a direct quote from Dickens, Gus? If it is, your familiarity with Dickens is greater than mine. Speaking personally, I’ve never been to one.

I like your poem its very honest and contains a starkness like a cold room.
By the way, the isles I believe you intended aisles not isles.
That's my little Mitzvah for the day.
Kind regards

This shouted out POTW to me straight away for its vigour. You are almost there at the gigs with him! This poem couldn’t have been written without the expletives, it wouldn’t have been real.
Well done Beno!

Well told, Kev. You kept me wondering throughout if it was serious or one of your comedic sagas. Excellent rhymes too - panache/tache.

Nearly missed this one.
Enjoyable read.
Your descriptive powers are so good.
I felt that bone chill you get after a couple of hour in the garden. Those multiple fleeces weren't enough were they. You needed that fire.
Good one, your wife staying out of the way. ???
May a recommended composting! ??

This is great.
So many clever and beauty lines.
Really resonated with me the first two verses.
The last three were verses are very skillfully done.
I like:
Compulsion to be clockwise and clean
Fabulous filigreed filth
It could almost be two poems for me, as I found the feel of the first and second half different.

What a mixed up bunch we are
Keith's infected, see?
Anya's infected to the max
And Po's got STD
Dk says he's cured as HAM
Methinks he's off with birds
It seems I've also cured myself
No longer lost for words
Thankyou dk for pulling out
Poetic thoughts from all
We're happy little poets, yep?
Join in, let's have a ball

Sadly Fred rhyming is out
Rhyming is out of fashion
But if we lived in Shakespeare's day
It would be all the passion
I'm pleased you've made attempt submit
Of three rhymatic poems
Do not give up, not give up hope
You could still win, and show 'em ?

This is the best poem I've read, ever.
