Poems

Vol.1

there
Sheffield made steel and was World renowned,
Then when Taiwan 'invented alloy' we found,
Strong and very good exchanged for expensively cheap, convenient dud.
Future usefulness sold off, un-noticed in our present day consumer rush,
Encroaching crumbling letdown, forgiven by expected, forgotten by acceptance.
Tat disguised as quality in modern day media sheen,
Imitated memories of the craftsman.
That wasn't just a dream.
