A continuing historical tragedy. We watch horrified, powerless, it seems.

A wonderful onomatopoeia, MC. A Yorkshire dialect word which, I suspect, owes its derivation to a brad awl. In slang it’s also a male brothel.
And thanks for the Like, Ghazala.

I remain fascinated by the word "broddles". Did Bill Bryson ever
find that one while foot-slogging around his "Small Island"?

Thank you for commenting Nazia and Ghazala ?
This poem was like a confirmation and affirmation to myself of my intentions, but of course I never really have forgotten this friend, neither the friendship we had beforehand, nor the manner of ending. It isn't something I think about often, but it's not something I can forget either.
Top Tip: If you're going to try and forget someone don't write a powerful poem or a catchy song about them. (wait and see)

On this subject - pray see(?)
This thought comes to me:
I prefer to make sense
To being seen to be dense.

I'd like to state, just for the record, that 'The Wonder Tree' and 'To A Friend To Be Forgotten' are not about the same friendship.
Also, whereas I did show 'The Wonder Tree' to the friend it was written about, I have never shown 'To A Friend To Be Forgotten' to the person it was about.

I'm glad you were so affected Greg! Yes my Mum was forward thinking, even anticipating the change. My very earliest pin up photo was Yvonne de Carlo, and it went downhill from there. I have a copy of Spick on my shelf; I thought I had Health and Efficiency too but that was just an illusion.
Vive la frisson I say!
Thanks for taking a liking Stephen.

Wheelchair friendly poetry - an absolute must John. As always you leave your indelible mark on the more popular tunes in the same way as Spike Jones in his day!

Too right, Stephen. As I approach my 70’s I find myself playing more fast and loose with my own safety.
