That's what I thought.
Too much immigration changes the fabric of the country.
Like here in the U.S.
But...we do not have a leader with Wild Hair!
Our only saving grace!

This is a fascinating poem, Brenda. You give us a warning about wallowing too much in nostalgia, as well as describing its many attractions so beautifully.

Thanks, dk. I penned something on leaf blowers a little while ago but without describing the post-apocalytic scene as you have done. Enjoyed this one.

Thank you so much as this is the first poem I have posted. I think that a kindred spirit is different to a soul mate in my opinion as a kindred spirit is more of a peculiar person or more of a loving person (Anne of green gables is a book childhood classic which touches on this.) Soul mates tend to be more of a once in a life time relationship.
Kimberley.

An interesting and well written poem. I wonder if a soul mate is the same as a kindred spirit? I would be interested to hear your views.
Thank you for this

I have a small Swiss Army knife on my key ring, MC. It’s amazing the number of times someone wants to borrow it while I’m out.

Simple (except in mentality!) is best. Safety pin/clothes peg/ paper clip.....just to mention a few that come to mind. I have a
small selection of penknives acquired over the years, one of
which is neat enough to fit into my key case. Trust me...it's a
reassuring presence! .

Leaf Blowers are nefarious individuals and quite possibly communists sent to destroy the nation's morale. Try to ignore them

Yes, an intriguing poem. The edifice replaced by the artifice, with freedom still tantalisingly remote. It sets one thinking.

Holden,
This poem is the first I have read today and it speaks to me of what is taking place as society seems to be tipping on the edge of something none of us can properly articulate or predict. The first and last lines hold the keys. Your words seem to have inhabited my sub conscious for some time. This poem expresses my feelings at this moment.
Thank you for this
Keith

Thanks for all the interesting comments. Keith - maybe it's just a question of terminology. I was thinking of the type of construction in which David Cameron was writing his autobiography (Did he finish it? Does anyone care?). I also have the impression that the composer Harrison Birtwistle used to write music in a shed, although perhaps Mahler's 'summer house' would now be considered an up-market shed.
Greg - you definitely have something here. I seem to remember that years ago there was a (not very funny) sitcom with William Gaunt in which the men congregated in the shed (with sherry on tap - you see, I'm not very original) and even hid when one of their wives approached. One could imagine some of the US anti-government crowd barricading themselves in a shed in preparation for their last stand. Against whom, I'm not sure.
Pete - I envy you. No disarray by the sound of it. It sounds like an idyllic existence. You could rent out your house.
John - The class war idea, yes. I suppose that if your shed is really up- market, you don't need to keep tools in it, as your gardener brings everything in the van. All you need is a false bookcase with a photo of the spines of some fashionable tomes for your zoom conversations.
All the comments are really appreciated. Thank you.
And thanks to Nigel, Stephen A. Aisha, Rudyard and Holden for liking this one.

I bet the poor man's labour party, currently lead by Sir Starmer are delighted that there is a pandemic and partygate and Joke-vic all over the press at the minute! They haven't actually done or said anything useful since he took over. Bring on the next election. Let's see what they've got to say then!

Ah yes...the memory conjures up the sounds and smells of a
