Casualties
of Being
In the last century
I lost my youth in Viet-Nam
Last week I met a man
Who lost his son last year
Autumn - always autumn
The former address, "reactionary drivel," was a P. G. Wodehouse gag that few ever understood to be a mildly self-deprecating joke. Drivel, perhaps, but not reactionary. Neither the Red Caps nor the Reds ever got it.
