    And when a pandemic hits the land use it to mask the incompetence, carelessness and greed that are your trademarks.

    Hi Nel_Staffs , this is a very poignant pastiche of Kipling's original, much shorter but so accurate in its description of the current political reality!  I, certainly, "enjoyed" :'( reading it.  Thank you.

    @Phaidra,  Brian Bilston writes very well on lots of current issues.  Always pertinent and often poignant/thought provoking.  Thank you for commenting.  🙂

    I blush to say that I knew nothing about Brian Bilston but after reading Nel_Staffs' posts I "checked him out".  A very interesting man.  Though he mostly made me think, sometimes he also made me giggle:

    P.S. I don't like haikus!

    At about 7pm yesterday, OH was taking a bath whilst I was upstairs too, closing bedroom windows, curtains etc. 
    Suddenly, the doorbell went, so I looked out of the window to see who it was.  Two men, 30-ish, looked up and told me my car boot was open.  From where I was standing I could see my car perfectly clearly; the boot wasn't open.  I thanked them for their kindness and asked them to "just push it down for me". 
    They slithered away without a sound!

    I imagine they were checking whether there was anybody in.

    That's what I thought too.  Sadly, cars are often stolen from driveways.

    Apparently, the price of second hand cars has increased lately, thus the exceptional recent spate in car thefts. 

    Perhaps, when insuring a car, it would be wise to research thoroughly the cost of replacing it AND any additions to it, as the constant price rise of goods could leave one seriously out of pocket.
