Tonight Mom told me she’d watched a movie. Her central vision is shot so she can’t see detail, but she says it was something about history from Henry VIII to when Churchill took over from Chamberlain when Germany invaded Poland. She was eleven back then.
Warsaw, she says. ‘I used to play the Warsaw Concerto, I loved it, it was very clever. The music had the sirens sounding for the bombing, and sounding the all clear after it was over. All just on the piano,’ says Ma. ‘You know the King and Queen stayed in Buckingham Palace during the bombing (we’re in England now) and they say that’s what helped England win the war. They could have gone to the country, but they stayed.’ My Mom Mary Monarchist, who hatched a very anti-monarchy son.
She saw the King n Queen once. When she was nineteen. Where did she first see the King n Queen? Why, in Benoni.
Read that and you’ll see why I’m anti the ponces.
