The Daily Teaser — 11-9-2013: The Day The World Changed

Wouldn’t you know it … ?

Somehow, I’ve woken up, this morning, with one hell of an ear-worm going through my head.

Linton Kwesi Johnson’s Reality Poem, from his Forces Of Victory.

Which is possibly a very appropriate piece to have going through my head: given today’s date.

Hmmm … 

Let’s give the man a turn, shall we?

And move on …
