  'We're very lucky!" I tell the boys, "Not many can afford a LUXURY  Platinum Caravan! (Much cheaper than abroad) "It's very spacious!" I tell the boys as they squeeze into their "room": "A luxury PLATINUM  Caravan!" (I hope it stops raining soon) "It's not for us!" I tell the boys as we sit around, plain bored. "A luxury platinum CARAVAN! " (Next year we go abroad) 14/08/2019 Simon Wright

Luxuries! (A rhyme written in response to the vote by the House of Commons to block plans to extend free school meals for the most vulnerable children in society)

  "Luxuries! Luxuries! We must have responsibility!" cries the MP from the comfort of his salary and lunch subsidy. "Avoid nationalisation! Let's have rationalisation for the joy of privatisation is the freedom to choose. Heat or food? Clothes or light? It's about liberation in the ongoing fight to unshackle the people and allow them to decide! Emergency dinners is fiscal suicide. We need every penny to keep our bombs primed and ready to use if we are inclined. We must honour our contracts and look after our friends We must keep in their favour (Our retirement depends on the offer of seats on a top business board Earning more money as we head to the Lords). So, let us be honest - we're in this together And the decisions ahead are a question of whether we avoid the tough actions fiscal prudence demands. Free dinners are wasteful - you must understand. And now the debate and the vote has been won, we're off for a meal Subsidy anyone?" Luxuries! Luxurie

Poem - Perspective

  As if it were a dream A distant thing to see The memory of emotions Rise up within me Not with fear-tinged feeling But gentle to the heart Giving fresh perspective Enabling a new start Simon Wright  27/11/2015
