For the sake of comment in poetical form here is a re-working of a previous entry. 

Listening to Julia Hartley-Brewer

Makes me wish somehow I knew her.

That sense of razor sharp summation

Addressing the wounding allegation

Returning from a distant past

With virtue's rising hot air blast

To put a long lost act on show

That only those concerned can know.

So - look to yourselves, who would condemn

The foolish deeds of hopeful men!

Previous generations faced the facts

And dealt with life's presumptious acts;

Experience came along the way

To help them on another day

When a quick retort...a witty word

Would make some chancer feel absurd.

A man will always try his luck

(Women - note: it CAN take pluck).

And those who learn to play life's game

Are seldom quick to talk of blame.

So, if some learn a lesson through her,

I say well done - Julia Hartley-Brewer
