Thanks John, Julie & Stephen for the comments. Bit early for a Christmas poem 🤣 But thought I'd try & think outside the muddy box a bit.

Thank you, John. Always appreciated.

KJ - I suppose it all helps, although she seems to be very intelligent and capable as well. Love the wordplay at the end!

It seems to me that the only way to get a job at the beeb is to be related to someone already famous.

And now she reads the gnus

Sublime, Ray. It could even convert me to Starbucks (well, perhaps not). Birmingham Bauhaus - I'll have to read up on that.

I've never been to Walsall but a few years ago I posted an anti-Brexit poem on line and was heavily criticised by someone called '52% and proud of Walsall.' The red wall was rising.

That 's right John it was Go, Go ,Go County but in those days we seemed to just stay in the old Fourth Division.
These days we are back in the Football League with a team that can Go, Go , Go right up to higher places.

A belated thanks for the likes to KJ, Stephen G, Stephen A, and Holden. Thanks also Ray and Stephen for the comments. Do hope they can come to some sort of solution, as usual it's the civilians who are paying such a high price.

Thank you for your kind words. I’m going through massive amounts of turmoil mentally as our humanity slips from us at a rate I’m not capable of hanging on to. Don’t get me wrong. I will go down swinging. But I will age 400 years doing it. 😂

Go County! I believe that was a slogan in the 60s, Nigel.
It's just another case of history repeating itself! 😀

Hey curiousdud3, nice to see you are back. All good with me thanks. Hope all good with you. I have had a couple of invites from John Botterill to take on a 10 line challenge with the them of a word. I’ll tag you next time. Hope you see some of your writes soon. Strange how I manage to sum up the day as I’m in Tunisia right now. 😁 I guess I know what I’m flying home to.

Great knowledge Stephen. I had that Larkin poem in mind. I think it's called 'At Grass', these are more 'At Mud'.
Oh no! I'm more of a pessimist than Larkin!

Thank you, John. I think it's true that 'all lines are blurred in war'. Some people, even those on the 'wrong' side, seem to be able to reinvent themselves in peacetime.

And my thanks to Nigel, KJ, Julie, Holden and Kevin.

Ah, football fans, Nigel! I once heard a story about Bobby Moore's mum dragging him out of a pub as Christmas dinner was on the table at her place. (Rumoured to be in 1966!)

Quite sad but clever, John. Larkin said that retired horses 'gallop for what must be joy.' These seem a bit past that!
