On the streets

Updated: Feb 22

With no respect for life

Flashes the kitchen knife

Food preparation no more

Blood spattering on the floor


Not from dispatched Sunday lunch fowl

But stemming flow with an old tea towel

Cut by friends cut by foe

Only the kitchen knife will know


On the streets where we once played

There seems to be crime involving a blade

What is becoming of our country, our isles

Where we used to play, laugh and smile

Several generations removed from "On the street where you live," on the soundtrack of My Fair Lady. Your version is more up to date.
