Hi Keith - I'm sure you've done your research. I haven't heard this before, but it sounds like the sort of thing the Nazis would have done to give the whole disgusting process a veneer of respectability.

Writing this gem is a kind of much delayed catharsis You must be quite relieved. It is out there now!

And wow the brevity of it all. Less is more.

Jon,

I can only echo the words of Graham. Every thought, act, or word has an impact in one way or another. Your poem gives rise to quite some thought.

Thank you for this

This is where all the behind-the-scenes work of Like-Minders Society occurs.

I write poety and drink cappuccino while Thalia sips Earl Grey from a china teacup. She's a high-class lady.

Thank you for all the comments and likes. This is the fastest poem I've ever written, so I guess I had my thoughts straight for once ? It's also the first thing I've managed to write in a month, so I'm very grateful for the inspiration.
