'Five and twenty ponies,
Trotting through the dark -
Brandy for the Parson, 'Baccy for the Clerk.
Laces for a lady; letters for a spy,
Watch the wall my darling while the Gentlemen go by!'

(A Smuggler's Song by Rudyard Kipling)

 

there's a history of  Smuggling

in the area  I came from

no great mystery

unlike the elite

Smugglers

weren't smug

mugs

were so

obviously struggling

to make ends meet

as many

poor sods

more mere clods

have done

throughout history

This entire large website has been a real labour of love by Yours Truly. I don't get paid & have to cover all running costs out of my own small pocket. Am in the proverbial starving (at least slightly peckish) artist in a garret situation. Give what you can. Thanks.
