Them days when they them wrote – Thinking About Learning

What happened to them there writers who

When they wrote we would be moved to write

Who would be called HR Juggler, or Garelaos, or MJ, or Fuchsiablue, or MHIOP (iykyk), or Punk Rock, or a DDS here and a Heath there. Oh, but oh

That it would be cutting, and direct, and attacking, hilarious and funny, and people would be upping their arms

That grammer be damned, spelling didn’t care, and pop culture be strewn, but damn the bodies and damn the high and the mighty

Where it took Superman to revolve through the door

Where a question left you thinking and searching

Where a comment encouraged further debate

What goes around? Madness in the halls, and those flipchart fairytales,

When I’d read and then want to discuss

Masters or bust? And those airmiles? Or our dear Flora who walked and camped the length of wonderful Britain

I am romantic for those days

Them days when they them wrote and we moved the goddamned fucking world.
