Moth in the sofa, mines upon the shore:
The Skylark’s leaking, and the Pier’s no more.
For four long years we’ve seen the ‘seaside’ bleed,
And Southern ‘fronts’ were at the front indeed.
Britannia, spare a penny for their pain:
We’d like to be beside the sea again.
October 8, 1944
Did you enjoy the the artible “Save Our Seaside” from A. P. Herbert on OZOFE.COM? Do you know anyone who could enjoy it as much as you do? If so, don't hesitate to share this post to them and your other beloved ones.
