I got some way into a silly pastiche, looked up the poem and found I had
misremembered it
the sword outwearing the sheath put me in mind of detritus on st ives
streets after a saturday night
paused for breath
now i have joan baez singing it going round my head
Joan Baez 5, some time in the 60s, i borrowed that LP from an Aussie woman
whose name I forget
Ah youth!
i don't think i'm up to pastiching Ron, not at this time anyway - ive been
writing or trying to write html and my brains are turning runny
anyway thank you to all for all puns
I'm off to Sainsbury's in a minute
