Thanks Gus. Please assure Augusta that I would never have tried to take advantage of her in this way. She is too much of a lady.

My foremost advise to those in the brotherhood... Going to a party or protest march... Stay sober and write her a poem.! Well done John perfect recall..

Reminded me of one of my favourite overheard conversations ever. Two old boys sat at the bar in a pub I used to drink in discussing their, "Glory days," one said, "I remember when I could have pushed it through steel plate." To which the other replied, "And these days you'd be lucky to make a dent in butter!"

As KJW observes: another belter.
There's much to be said for remembering times past,
Raise a cheer for the good times now your flag's at half-mast ?

This seems to be a very honest poem and not quite as whimsical in its delivery as you usually post.
A fine piece John

There's a problem when one can't raise cheer John
Half-raised danders, that is bad enough
But thems live the longest got no choice Coops
No ladies'll get put in the duff.....

So be grateful .....

Thanks Don. You are quite right. These days I can barely raise a cheer.
It took me a second or two, Kev. And then I spluttered my muesli.

When you said you'd read Marx, I thought you meant your kex were too tight.

Ladies don't be conned by what Coops writes
He's only living dreams of his past
OK it may've been able to get up then
But his dander now can just reach half mast......

Them as lives long learns this.....
