College Friend


Hi Joe I had the pleasure

Of chatting to your mother recently

She is am amazing woman

And so proud of her children

As you might know

She is illustrating a book of poems

By Fif Giles

What I did not know was that she went to college

With Fif

Did you ever meet her

Yes I knew her well

She especially adored Josie

Everybody adores Josie

Well except Josie herself

Is she well

Pop around to see her

She would love to see you

I used to visit her in prison

Which was difficult at times

Do you consider what she did wrong

No

Some people consider he a terrorist

Then they are fools

Nobody was hurt

Only property was damaged

She sent bullets to so called

Captains of Industry

And terrified their families

Certain members of the cabinet

Were targeted by incendiaries

It was a miracle that nobody died

When her house was raided small arms were found

Were they ever used

She and her friends had the facility

I have a question for you

Would you in the same circumstances

Have carried out these attacks

Those were different days

Point taken

But let us bring it forward

Would you target this or any recent governments

In theory yes

So if somebody attacked members of the current government

You would not shed tears

Probably not

As they are in my view malignant

But as you know Colin

I was brought up in a Christian family

My late father was a vicar

Thy shalt not kill
