Re: There are going to be a lot of people dying surprised

Many years ago it was common for bookshops to sell poems on small cards like drinks coasters. One took my fancy and still sits on my bathroom shelf as a daily reminder. It has a picture of a man in "convict" striped pyjamas - his mouth foaming from energetic teeth brushing.

"Bars" by Bridget Rees

"

Here stands the prisoner of routine,

Wears pyjamas, likes jokes clean,

Scrubs his teeth, is ne'er a rover

Goes to work and gets run over.

"

On e of my own sayings is "If you can see the bars of your life's cage - then you can choose when to break them".
