Chilled Pickled Herring ‘n Onions.

You, Island Girl must have
Affinity for Herring
Manchester UK.
I have the blood of English, Danish
Scottish and Irish.
So same goes.
This morning at five
Tried out with bacon/eggs.
(Wife Hilary, if awake
Would have gagged.)


But we share the Island.
1066.
Viking dragon boats.
Feisty Armada turned back.
Spaniards flat broke.
Nazi U Boats and fighters
From the air.
Dunkirk volunteer boats, rescuing.
The Diana sagas.
The Iron Lady Maggie.
Sailing Cup engagements.
Brexit or not to.
Beautiful Queen, laid to rest.
Rule Britannia!


I remember first taste
Age eleven
Iroquois Restaurant
Smorgasbord.
Salads galore.
Herring for the kid.
(Mom did gag.
In words, if not in throat.)
Dad just smiled
And joined in.
Battle of Britain RAF Vet.
Many stories and memories
And meals.
Napkin now, napkin.
Douglas.
