Made In Britain

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.

      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. 🙂
