Simple premise so elegantly expressed. As Fay says, you have a great way of saying so much in such short lined prose. And the comments are a great bonus.

It were all we could do when i were a lad see, that there turf surfin. Course we had to do some prep so we\'d spend all mornin drinkin Tizer then when we wuz fit to bust we\'d all pee on the turfs, make em slippery like. So you could get a good old glide going, corse you didnt wanna be fallin over or youd stink of Tizer pee which didnt go down to well with me mam.

Bless you and truly my dear lady Fay... I had you in the back of me head when I was scribbling away, knowing full well our local dialect might contain similar wording and to the uninitiated & emmit‘s, might sound similar x

I had to read this flowing ballad out loud and twice to get the wonderful way of short-line tale-telling that your pen seems to find so easy my friend. First class poem and thanks too for the interpretive comments
- - Old Mullins Yard has the Cornish equivalent but this one a fave has to be for me..............

Good words Neville, as with many in power all they are looking for is what they can get out of it without a thought for anybody else.

With your permission-
To defile the lowest human denominator (TRUMP), only saps our own precious energy. Even the Devil needs its army of hapless buffoons to be elevated and that\'s where lie the stench.
Well writ my friend

In my first introduction to Marmite I spread it on the bread like peanut butter, one bite and I was retching. I had never met anything as repulsive, until Trump came along.Hopefully all will change come November, but how many will die until then. I have called him a fool, which he is, and yet I see far too many fellow citizens clamoring to his defense. It leaves me ever fearful for our future beyond November if it all goes wrong.
Your poem left me with increased hope. \"Oh , how the mighty they do fall\" Please be true. - Phil A.

They need Barack back - all was sensible then.
They did not listen to me. I told them never to appoint someone with such a dodgy barnet!

Well, written into the constitution is the defence that a tyrant buffoon may only serve two terms maximum.
Looking far to the east no such people\'s power was ever established and we see arising a merciless control which our complacency bolsters.

The speed which cross contamination can hit is expertly poemed in this short but powerful verse - - the whole account sounded to me like someone you knew Nev - but then that maybe not true for your pen is adequate to write appealingly mere imagination. Whatever - - the read had such a compelling dose of poignancy.........x

**** \'Four stars\" for this one, \"pearlescent\" or otherwise. \"Breathing sighs\" of envy here. A very gentle memory of long ago lost but not forgotten beauty. But, hey, let\'s not try to blame poetry for everything. Loved this one. - Phil A.

Absolutely delightful. I write with a broad grin upon my face and a chuckle in my throat.
Such joy of memories and the games we play upon them.
A great tribute to love and attraction.

She drew breath
the violets beckoned
your heart fluttered
memories were made
You do create some lovely images with which to romance.

The Logic of Fools
Goldfinch60 said:
History cannot be changed and breaking down monuments achieves nothing when there are more important issues at stake that can be solved in a more civilised way.
Just a thought though:
\"History is written by the winners - what if the losers were right?\"
