I like the poem Ian, and war is many negative things but not always pointless. If we had taken that view 60 years ago, you and I would not be able to speak and write freely as we do now.

I agree, Paul. As we all know, this is a subject that is turned naturally and famously into poetry. But I do think this is the best laureate poem that I can remember over the last few years.

Thanks MC, I am very lucky to live surrounded by fields in a house built 1640. Once they get in the stone rubble built walls they can move around unheard or seen. This is the third time in 15 years one has chewed the dishwasher pipe. Got to take the rough with the smooth?. I am currently researching rodent proof pipes and pipe protection. ?

Entertaining piece of rhyme.
My flat is in a two hundred year old house here in central London and
there have been two complaints about mice (from different tenants - both women), one of whom magnified the creature to a rat ! I've seen mice - plus
a rat in a nearby street once during heavy rain flooding the drains and no
way can you mistake the two. About as likely as confusing Arnold
Schwarzenegger with Moe Farah!
Traps were laid for a number of weeks on both occasions but
failed to produce any result. I keep my place free of food in all ways
possible and have no complaints about their possible presence.
They've probably been "tenants" far long than my own quarter of a century.

Thank's Phil for dropping in on my profile page. I am so very very sorry to read about your son, what a tragedy, after all you have already been through in serving your country for all those life-endangering years.

I may only be one voice in millions but that won't stop me from saying thank you for your service on our behalf.

I'm with you on your tastes in music and as for poets,
give John Bukowski a try
I think he will be right up your street.


I hope you keep posting on here ( welcome by the way ) and that you manage to cope not only with the virus situ but also with every other kind of shit life throws at you.
