| How To Get On In Society (Josie's Second Challenge) | |

Hello Josie! I love your present 'challenge'! What fun! I've tried a feeble effort below, but I thoroughly enjoyed writing it , after a heavy evening watching the film 'Atonement' (thoroughly recommended by my humble self to All, by the way - inspirational or what?!). The relevance is meant to be the (to my mind) somewhat hypocritical work ethic of today's middle classes, who often have more money than work on their minds. I'm one one of them, so please don't think I'm banging a drum - I'm absolutely NOT. I write because I love writing - full stop! So, here we are . . . PS I may have got the wrong idea in terms of scanning and rythm, but I'm tired now, so shall post it anyway, for better or for worse! X
How To Get On In Society
Forget the fishknives, Norman!
Bring on the dancing girls! Take a day off, why don't you? And revel in their twirls . . . For when push comes to shove, dear Norman And you're feeling down and out Remember my precious teapot With its uninsurable spout! Then come to bed my Darling When all is said and done But be ready to rise in the morning And toil in the mid-day sun.
