Remember Rudyard Kipling

The first paragraph of a funny sent to me, struck a chord. "The British are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists themselves have been re-categorised from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during the great fire of 1666."

The same chord that resonated when I read Rudyard Kiplings Et Donna Ferantes. We may be multi cultural - but the traits are still there. :D :D :D

 

My favourite Poet. (Although he insisted he wasn't one.) I won his "Complete Works" when I was at school for being able to recite the whole of "Gungha Din" but read "The Children"
