The Estate
High crime area
But those dismal concrete toads
Have the ring of home
But those dismal concrete toads
Have the ring of home

Author's Note
I grew up on a council estate where everyone and their mum has a giant pitbull type dog for security purposes and the police were round like the taxman. When I was little I always thought that these little fat tower blocks looked like toads, afloat in a sea of trash.

I thought for a moment you were making a play
on words , aka , "Toad In The Hole" ( pork chops
in batter ) , or "Toad In The Hole" , as in petrified
toads , allegedly found inside geodes , or rock strata ;
I mean , you are from Britain , so I was not sure ,
as my first experience with "Toad In The Hole" was
the first example , when my London born fiance took
me to her parents house for dinner...lol !
And for dessert , "spotted dick" , or currant pudding in a roll...
Being rather altered ( 1970's ) i lost it when they told me what
we would be eating !
Very good , Floralii !

I enjoyed this raw piece, the type, kind of writing I like the most
because it seems to be written without fear,
and fear of what?you would ask...
expression! self-expression
Thank for sharing
