Dedicated? Nah!
They’re all out in the shed in a cardboard box wrapped up in PVC. Black silk shirt with red stripes And a shoelace tie. Cool wasn’t a word back then...

A very lovely and informative poem

I really admire the way you subtley demonise the arrogance of imperialism and colonialism. It reminded me of the twinge of shame I felt the first time I saw The Gateway to India monument in Mumbai.

You do Vultures proud with this brilliant poem, Rachel

Very clever poem Ewan
