class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scotland is a long way <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A friend cancelled <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I thought I would pop by <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is Josie expecting you <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes and no<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is seeing Cora off <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such a pretty girl <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I agree <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Dark Lady of the Sonnets <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very much <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you been reading the papers Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the time <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you read about that seventy five thousand year old skull <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How clever some people are <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As they imagined her features <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was stunning <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But one thing did strike me <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which some might find  rather unkind <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think I know what you are going to say<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you were born Daddy and I were in Australia <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was an exchange <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We enjoyed every moment <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And  sometimes helped to care <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the Aboriginal types <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As many were resident in seas of alcohol<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was very sad as they just sat under the sun <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a deep daze totally unaware of the world <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people tried to help them but without success <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am drifting from the subject Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I saw the photograph in the newspaper<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I could not help but to think how in a way it resembled <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Aboriginal people that we tried to help <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What are your thoughts Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same can be said of primates and the negroid races <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although vastly denied it is plain as day  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many clever men have noted this <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whilst the stupid ones have challenged them<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a very visible food chain out there <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some races are more advanced than others <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fact <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is obvious if one thinks about it <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God gave us all a level playing field <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So why is the world the way it is <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can see that you might upset people with your views Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I often upset blind and stupid people <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You are very much like your father <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But he was gentler than you and less direct <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It would not be cricket for the local vicar <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To go around expressing this view and that view <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It might upset the sweet ladies who make the cakes <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What did you think of my fathers views <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I totally agreed with him on most subjects <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I kept my opinions discreet <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is better that way <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are all the Children of God <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tea Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I thought you would never ask <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Toast <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Village Marmalade <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The railway food was inedible <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">British Rail sandwiches <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Far worse <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poor Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poor tired Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let your mother care for you <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I used to do during those happy years <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is so nice to see you again Joe You look tired Scotland is a long way A friend cancelled So I thought I would pop by
