Hi Sophie,
What a lovely, warm response to my poem. Thanks a lot - it is a great feeling to know that one's words can warm others don't you think? All of the people in the poem exist - the "chicken man" was such an irrepresibly cheery chap and sooooo proud of his chickens! (His wife, who we only heard from inside the house, made it clear that she was a bit less in love with them!).

Thanks again.
Robert

Hey Nicola...I got a comment! :-) Interesting observation on "A Pair of Boots" by you - in fact there was a last, redemptive verse originally but I dropped it.
A pretty true story by the way, except that I hope that I've brushed the clay off now!
Thanks for popping by.
