Thank you so much, Naut. I knew there was a glitch with that name, but was too lazy to Google it...

Just a minor point - that poem was actually written by Dylan Thomas...I well remember that Pepsodent thing also, and quite apart from that - I do enjoy your trips down memory lane...

We always used to feed our chicks on hard boiled eggs for a day or two, but were told later that it was not really a good thing to do. Of course there was a lot of disease around later as chicks were reared in hundreds. I do have Dylan's book> he lived in a caravan a few miles from here for a while. An old man told me he used to see him walking down to the pub most mornings. I am afraid poets can't compete with fast moving images any longer.

Your first thoughts are something that annoy me to. Actually yes annoying adds do stick in my head, and keep me from trying the product. but then I am an old grump I suppose.

When you wrote she fed the baby chicks hard boiled eggs mashed up it reminded me of the movie Sausage Party
