I enjoyed reading your summation of this occasion Greg, true journalistic presentation . Without concern for the lyrics themselves, one of my early ventures was to take a dozen or so of their songs and re arrange them as ragtime pieces, they all seemed to work well in that format. Luckily the album was used by the BBC for intermission use for which I received a one off fee.

Original item by Louis Audet
Meanwhile, a volcano in Palma continues to spew out vast
emissions of noxious fumes into the air and no "expert""
banging on about climate change has appeared to discuss
the content and its effect in any way on the MSM for our information. Link that to activity above and below sea level
in any given year and let us have a debate about what this
does to our atmosphere while we address our own various
harmful ways.
The deafening silence causes eyebrows to lift when the frighteners about humanity's effect are applied with ever greater force and we cover our beautiful land and sea coast
with monstrosities that produce next to nothing for energy
even when the wind actually blows. Politics and science in
close alignment are always worth keeping an eye on.
One needs power and control, the other money and influence.
Debate...open and frequent and above all, meticulously informed; that's not too much to ask, is it? ? Voltaire seems
to be on my side about the worth of questions over answers!.

In the modern media world, there is pressure on public figures to "lighten up" and "show their real selves", however horrible this may be (Ed Balls comes to mind). It is to Greta Thunberg's credit that she does not seem to care about this but remains laser-focused on her main environmental message.
It seems to me that she is a thorn in the side of big business, rather than being used by it.
Having said that, it's good when a poem raises issues and sets off debate. Much better than some sad bloke writing about leaf blowers......

Yes, alternative titles are available, John. And the alternative product is a rake, which is not a great way to end up and which makes slow progress. I suppose there is a theme of disappearing youth in this somewhat trivial verse.
Telboy - I feel you pain. It happened to us once.
Thanks to MC, Jordyn, Stephen A, Aisha and Holden for the likes.

You should definitely write a book Jordyn, I'd read it. You're able to place the reader in the shoes of your subject. I was there & I don't even smoke! ...and I'm a man! ... well, sometimes ?

Thought provoking DK. However I think my parents were too busy to worry about change, bringing three of us up on very little money. Sadly we have changed into a society with too much time on our hands (leisure etc) and complain bitterly if anything gets in the way of our ability to do what we want.

It is rather threatening for we old men to be lectured by a young girl.
If you have an eight years old granddaughter it's incredibly threatening!

Is there nothing in her own country that gives her cause for concern? Why is she always picking on us?
And if she is determined to highlight things abroad, why not pick on the worst offenders first? Can't remember seeing her in China....

The simple humanity of the theme deserves a joyous welcome.
But why "For I will lit a candle for you" when "light" is the right
word for a present or future act of this sort? "Lit" is for a past act.

This really is top notch of its type. It reminds me of the song
sung by the late lamented Kenneth Williams who also used
the "language laughs" to memorable effect. But even his
song wasn't as comprehensively inspired as this material..
A cracker!

A real tour de force, John. I once saw Gerard Depardieu in a film where he pursues Catherine Deneuve in a motorway service station while impersonating a chicken. Alors...
