You ain't got no 'art you aint!
Heheh, I have or it wouldn't be moved by the imposters bit. My 'art is clearly something of a' arsehole. It likes that bloody Labi Siffre song too.

It's a load of cheesy nonsense.




The peak is the impostors bit, it's always moved me that bit, which is silly because it only appears to mean something. What are those impostors pretending to be? Why would you treat triumph and disaster the same? I've won the cup, my wife's been hit by a train, they're different. (Although it depends on the wife I suppose.)

Anyway no-one can do all that, so the world is no-one's and there are no men.

It's like sending a Hallmark Card instead of writing a letter.....

"That will do, it's sort of says what I was thinking in a round about way but in reality completely doesn't. I just don't have time for this but have to send something"

Very odd from a mother.

Perhaps the deeper message of the poem to Callum is "dont fight battles you are not meant to be in"

Kipling's only son John failed the medical for the Army due to bad eyesight but Kipling used his connections to get him into the Irish Guards. John died at the Battle of Loos in the First World War age 18. He shouldn't have been there.
It was made into a tv film with Daniel Radcliffe as the son. Surprised more people haven't heard of it.

She should have just sent Callum the internet link and saved everyone the trouble.
