You have not heard of William McGonagall one of Scotlands finest poets? Incredible! Enjoy his most famous poem, once experienced never forgotten, believe me 😉 https://www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/tay-bridge-disaster/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, if you were to compare this https://poets.org/poem/when-you-are-old with this https://www.poetrynook.com/poem/soldiers-reprieve I find myself slightly more in favour of W B Yeats poem written for the love of his life Maud Gonne rather than the heartfelt but slightly less than inspiring tale of a military disciplinary situation, as delighted as I was that it got sorted out in the end. 6 minutes ago, crookesey said: Same here, beats hell out of the alternative. 😊 Also 75, obviously 1947 was a vintage year.

Dromedary Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Recently bought "Ten Years in an Open Necked Shirt" by the punk poet John Cooper Clarke, should arrive tomorrow. Me, I'm a young 70.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cressida Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) Not being exact but I look younger as I get older, often wonder who it is when I look in the mirror, it's like I don't know that person.

Well, not being too vain, we really don't see much of ourselves what do you mean? Edited November 17, 2022 by cressida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
