Lion Sleeps Tonight"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hi Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clive and I have just returned from the Cotswolds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What a beautiful region it is <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is so very English <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was very much a working holiday <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I had to keep up with the news <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of it was quite dreadful <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I am not talking about Oasis reforming <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still the tickets are cheap <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet I would feel ripped off it they were free <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It has occurred to me that many of the dreadful crimes <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which are becoming all too common these days <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Were not really committed  by people named John Smith <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who were Cotswold born and bred <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bourton-on-the-Water <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Upper Slaughter <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lower Slaughter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Broadway <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who fucking cares <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know that you track the statistics <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And are perfectly aware of the hidden truths <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a sad state of affairs that decent people <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who rely on strong government red or blue <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are betrayed in such a manner <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your home city is Bath <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How I envy you <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is such a beautiful place <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it is becoming tatty on the edges <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to weak policing and a two tier approach <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my dreams we would live in the Cotswolds <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But our jobs disallow that <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What can be done <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rebecca <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost forgot <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Send my love to Josie and her new friend <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clive said that he wished  that you drank <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are so many great pubs in Richmond <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He will make a man of you one day <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My Dear Friend <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
