It's funny how we remember things from our childhood, espcially since a lot of those things come in bits and pieces.

Re: Ciel
Yes Ciel it would have saved me a lot of anguish if I could have have known where to look. In reality I should have gone back in time years before. No I was just posting it to make folk aware especially those with deep rooted problems. As you say one has to go back in that form and experience the root of the problem.

I remember that you told me about the beginnings of this, and have always been impressed and admiring that you were able to dig out the truth of it. Looking back so far can be profoundly painful, but not as much as living with such 'truths' that seem utterly without sense or reason.

Re: I love the poem and the idea of bony knees, designer shorts and
Well Pat Archie showed me a pair of trousers he bought in a charity shop.' Brand new' he said just my fit 42" waist. I know why he has developed a large waistline he used to run all night through when he was a milkman and now he rides around a lot in his car.
I just looked out a pair I nearly disposed of 32" I managed To squeeze into them as they are suppose to stop the sun rays. Yes Of course I was wrong, but did find out what the cause was about twenty years later.

Re:Taps
Fortunately I can run faster than the old ones. It is the bizarre ones I have to avoid.

Re: RPresta
I must be losing it, I cannot remember writing the poem. I expect i thought it might amuse. As boys we wore short trousers and could not wait to get long uns. I just could not bear to go back to short uns again.

I am sorry you experienced those pains and feelings. But I did really enjoy your poem. It was fun to read and I'll bet it was fun to write.

What an interesting post. Good thing you have a wall around your place. Some old lady would run off with you in your straw hat and designer shorts.

I love the poem and the idea of bony knees, designer shorts and
a summer straw hat. Now if the wearer sang in a barbershop quartet..... Funny what notions get into kids' heads as they grow up. Funny strange, not funny ha-ha. I sincerely hope you were wrong about your mum's intentions.
