- Dictators who positively go out of their way to force misery, tears and fears, upon their countryman's lives.
Politicians who, in dealing with dictators, have a wishbone where a backbone should be.
Flicking through an old 1954 school jotter
I came across this well remembered song.
Heck, it's frightening how time passes so quickly, isn't it.
Anybody else remember a song or poem from school days?
Trotting To The Fair.
(Alfred Perceval Graves)
Trottin' to the fair
Me and Molly Molony
Seated, I declare
On a single pony
How am I to know
That Molly's safe behind
With our heads in, oh
That awkward, awkward way inclined
By her gentle breathin'
Whispered past my ear
And her white arms wreathin'
Warm around me here
Thus on Dobbin's back
I discoursed the darling
Till upon our track
Leaped a mongrel snarling
"Ah" says Moll "I'm frightened
Frightened that the pony'll start"
And her pretty hands she tightened
Round my happy heart
Till I asked her: "May I
Steal a kiss or so?"
And my Molly's grey eye
Didn't answer no.
