I tend to think of the word in the context of D.H. Lawrence and "Lady
Chatterley's Lover". Otherwise it is merely indicative of someone's
opinion of another person in an extreme form, used and heard in
certain situations and circumstances best avoided in the first place!

Thanks Jennifer. Glad this appealed! What a lucky chance to meet an original thinker and writer. I couldn't find that many rhyming lines as he would have used, but I wanted it to flow in my mind. I think he had an eye for the ladies!

All the best, Ray

Having already noted my will with "cremation", I still enjoyed the
theme out across with such zest.
Cremation is better than burial, by gum,
Ashes to ashes - up in smoke, chum!
To throw to the wind or spread on the sea,
Or put in a pot - it's bye-bye from me!

The poem is great, but when I was reading 'mood' I accidentally placed the word as 'hood'. Dammit! I rhyme even when I don't want to.

Concise but every word is worth its weight in lines.?

This is something I can't work out. More people means more produced but spread around with more people, so no-one is more better off ??

We do seem obessed with growth don't we? Real growth is due to increased productivity, but countries like UK are winging it due to a steadily increasing head count.

Hi Brian. I havn't been to Haven, but I've done Warners a couple of times and visited Allhallows- rather a sad place that never really became the Blackpool type destination envisaged originally. If you have kids it all makes sense, but Warners are mainly for oldies. In my career as musician I've been to most resorts from Worthing to Monte Carlo, - I'm not easily impressed; it's a great leveller when you have to go through the kitchens.
Thanks for your interest.

Cheers Big Sal, it's nice to be appreciated, really. My darker side (not really, you probably havn't seen that yet!

Thank you Peter. I do have a cold at the mo', but it comes in handy for voice effects! I'm pleased you picked up on the fact that the poem is really just the expression of a certain type.

Thanks Trevor. Yes, I can recall those days too. I once went to the camp featured on Hi de Hi . quite regimented and obligatory fun. Caravans were a move up for my folks, but they did hire them
when I was a kid. I'm sure you have a light footprint.



Season's greetings too Rich, Jon Anya and Jennifer Ray
