More inventive (Fagin-orientated) fun from this source.
I remember pubs back in my working life where you could
find someone like "John The Hat"(nudge..nudge/wink..wink)
- now overtaken by what can be found cheaply on the 'net.

MC.,
Thank you for this. War is no more than a series of catastrophies which result in a victory. Such sacrifice. Such loss. Yet we fail to learn from the tragic message left on this piece of parchment. My God grant them eternal peace in a far better place.
Lest we forget.
Thank you for this.
Keith

The words, redolent of resisting the enemy, seen or unseen,
remind me of the Community Song Books of my youth:
a touch of the "Onward Christian (substitute 'Chemical')
Soldiers..." perhaps.

Hi Mark, I doth tremble at the prospect! Thanks for reading.
Glad it worked for you Taylor , thanks!
Thanks Hannah, appreciate your comment.
Brian, you have the answer there, unless of course God is invisible as claimed. Of course invisible doesn't necessarily mean non - existent, except in an existentialist sense. Know wha' I mean?
Cheers David. Glad you enjoyed this. The word ineffable just seemed to fit the essence, and now I have looked it up I see what you mean. There are many grandiloquent words attached to the mysteries, how would it be otherwise. I loved the clip - so right. Barbed and brimming with truth.
Tom, Big Sal, Jon and Anya, I'm grateful as always for your interest.
Thanks folks all. Ray

In the waiting room I sits
Magazines give me the shits
Why? Cos they are out of date
12 months old way way too late
As for the telly what is on?
Footy, while you're waiting Don
Shit! again, no interest
Footy is to me a pest
Phone's antique, no screen, 3G
Not for watching life you see
So in the waiting room I sits
Watching all, 5G get it ?
Really liked this dk. We've let phones control us. That's why I have an antique one

Cyntha,
An interesting subject for a poem but as for who is singing I can only make a few assumptions. You are in the Battlefield and the soldiers are being exhorted to march to war. Are you the lead singer? With a cohort in support as a vocal group.
Thank you for this conundrum

Becky - seen, thank you. I'm one who remembers European

a well-kept secret. As for Ireland- still going its own way
and impeding ours!

Those of us of a certain vintage well remember learning these hand signals - and, indeed, can still put them to use when the electronics break down. The "slowing down"
hand signal still has a use when the brake lights give up! Also - there is no
electronic substitute for the "wave on"
to those behind when your car breaks down without warning.

Thanks for the link that you put on the "Royal Mint" blog.
It seems to me personally a case of "IF the spirit is willing..." for a successful outcome.

If finding the correct rhyme is like hunting something - then call me Simo Hayha. . .?
This piece reminded me of one of Diogenes's quotes. A smart ass man at a time when I'm sure sarcasm was in meager supply. You'll have to look him up if you get a chance. He once had a legendary encounter with the almost-mythical Alexander the Great, and is one of my many olden influences.?
"Safe when we burrow in the field in the autumn,
Straight as an arrow with the steel at the bottom."
_____
You have a good day, Becky, and keep making Diogenes proud.

Raw emotion + film-like quality of expression = Taylor's poem.
"and cough to hide it" - so relatable that it carries humility like a torch. Well done.
I feel you though, Taylor, from first-hand experience and even on a bad day the sun shines brightly.?

Brian says he also waved to motorists
Who put their arms out when turning round
He says he just he wanted to make people happy
Which to me this idea sounds quite sound
Although drivers no longer hang their arms out
Our Brian can be seen still waving madly
At blinkers which go left and go right all the time
(He says he's still makin' people happy......) ?

Hi Brian, thanks for the tip, will do! Should I then delete this version, or leave it? What do you mean "archived" - is it an end-of-month thing? Is there a "good" time to post? (I know I have a tendancy to post late at night, at least my time. I've fallen foul of Facebook like that too).

I agree with the first observation. Thank you. Poppy flowers are associated with the cemeteries of soldiers fallen in wars. After a millennium, mankind did not understand anything and people talk through bullets.
