Your article certainly ruffled a few feathers<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My pen was only being honest <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are some things that should <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Never be questioned<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The poppy was chosen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a good reason<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is simple and honest <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any fool can see that <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And now one finds <\/p>\n\n\n\n
White poppies<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rainbow poppies <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poppies with alien flags <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is what makes me so cross<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no place for this corruption <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I agree that some of the men who died<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Might have been homosexuals <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their deaths should be remembered <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with all of the other brave men<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not just because of their sad weakness<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And deliberate ignorance of the Bible<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That makes no sense at all and is offensive <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The addition of a flag to the poppy is just political <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is virtue signalling at its worse and should be illegal <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In all seriousness I understand the peace poppy<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But why the challenge to the colour of the poppy <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like many I would like to see a world without wars<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To change the colour the poppy is just a pointless exercise<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We would not have had this conversation <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ten years ago <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Such is the triviality of this tilt<\/p>\n\n\n\n
