Big Tent Poetry. September 6th.

I was inspired by the Big Tent prompt here - "Think of something you said, then write what you should have said."  (Hmmm . . . been happening all my life, innit? Well . . . here goes!)

Thank you for stopping by. To make life easier for you I have turned off the new indecipherable and time-wasting verification words. Would you care to "feedback" to Blogger and complain about them, like I did?
