Election Time is Here Again
Doggerel Dave said:
Promises, promises - and the answer to your very last comments question: rarely. But your National Health Service began just after the war in 1948 (legislation earlier). In the late seventies I was able to obtain a three year tertiary full time education there, fees paid and a healthy living allowance provided.
Of course, the NHS has by all accounts been stuffed by subsequent right wing governments and I suspect Uni education is anything but free....

But Sally, She Said Nothing
Tom Dylan said:
An intriguing poem, Kevin. Really enjoyed. I\'ve come away thinking of Don\'t Look Back in Anger by Oasis. So Sally can wait and all that.

Self Belief Self Belief

This made me smile. Yeah, you hear nasty pasties on TV say they are just being true to themselves. Hmmm... And your comment calling for Nurse made tickled me too.

I Needed to Write
Tom Dylan said:
Nicely done, Kevin. Ah the old writer\'s block. It\'s like an itch we can\'t scratch. But, as the poem suggests, there\'s nothing finer than when you find the words once more.

The Soldier he killed
Doggerel Dave said:
Yes:
LEST WE FORGET all subsequent wars, the casualties on all sides, (both civilian as well as military) and the stupidity of the politicians and the military industrial complex which inflicted it all.

Very somber and thoughtful piece. Despite the truisms and trite images a war poem cannot avoid, they are always moving and haunting when they are as sincere as this. Thank you.

The Dentist
Doggerel Dave said:
I know little of the orthodontist. However I have visited my dentist yearly for over twenty years. And I have not the slightest idea how he manages to do that.

The Ingredients of a Dripping Tap
Doggerel Dave said:
I\'ve yet to work out just why my dripping tap is such an irritation, but it surely is.
Exactly as described - detailed documentation there; the relief in the realisation I\'m not alone.....
