Superbly crafted poem, Steve, that encapsulates our changing attitude towards America. From the land of the free, to the land of the killing spree.

Excellent poem Dominic.

We've not only been,
but are still there wearing the same t-shirts coming out of the same cinema, carrying the same dog-eared book.

A very much enjoyed read,. despite the crumbling content! 😄

Thank you John. I wrote it for a Royal Engineers site, and wasn't going to post it on here.
I seems to have been well accepted so I'm glad I did post it.

Oh I see, Julie.
You change Amir's words
Into poetry.
Well, please allow me then to
Disagree.
You should take great credit!
Your skill is sublime!
I like to read them all time!
Shakespeare adapted Hollinshed
And he wasn't too shabby
When all is said! 😎

Nice one John.
We need more class like this on this site, and some of the younger members of the site could learn a lot if they read more of your fantastic musings.
I must say though, being a nonsmoker I don't know about starting the day with a fag.

Thanks Stephen and Bethany for your comments. Deflating balloons is a game of for children of all ages 🎈
The analogy is a bit of a stretch, but I enjoy a bit of metaphysical contortionism haha 😁
