Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

4.

If it's "The Boy Stood on The Burning Deck" I think it's actually called "Casabianca" ??

We studied it briefly in English Literature at school (that was in the 1950's) but I don't remember it having any other title than that first line ....

[ Of course I could absolutely be thinking of totally the wrong poem !! blush ]

manxman, Koala - perfect! smile

Mad - you're quite right, typed "Casablanca" by force of habit. Didn't know it was a proper poem when I was a kid - at school, all we knew were the rude versions... redface

We knew of silly versions at school, Urban Worrier, but not rude ones.

I expect we were all just too young evil
