Everything will fail.
On my new shower rail
is written
“made in Britain”.
Kipling is out of fashion
yet there remains a passion
for things made here.
Caesar’s ghost stands near.
The sneer
On Ozymandias’s face
Has been wiped from it’s place
Leaving only sand
And barren land.
Everything will fail.
On my new shower rail
is written
“made in Britain”.

Yesterday I purchased a new shower rail and was pleased to discover that it was made in Britain. This sparked the above poem.
It’s amazing where inspiration comes from at times!
Indeed it is! Thanks for your comment Lucy. Best. Kevin
It’s amazing the kind of things that inspire us writers, Kev. 🙂
Indeed it is Kev! Thanks for your comment and apologies for the delay in approving it. I somehow managed to miss it in the “pending” folder. Its odd as your comment should have been automatically approved, as WordPress is set by me to do that with those who’s comments I have approved previously. All the best. Kevin
It’s probably because my domain has changed, Kev. I no longer pay for kevs-domain and had it all reverted to greatindieauthor. wordpress. 🙂
Ah, that would explain it. Hope your weekend is a good one. All the best. Kevin
