@ManlyObserver Typical media sensationalism! IT WAS 1 ( ONE) Firework - not ‘fireworks’ - that went into the crowd! 2 others went in other random directions. 🙄🙄
@AngiraB_ Dismayed @ your irresponsible sensationalist ‘journalism’ regarding Allambie fireworks incident!😡😡😡Patents tonight are dealing with traumatised kids, but you choose to make the whole thing worse!😡 They did not ‘rain down’!! 1 rogue firework shot
3 - NOT CARNAGE! I hope you sleep well at night writing such sensationalist tripe! Want to go round and counsel the shocked kids??? You just made it worse!!! Thanks for your community mindedness! Get your facts straight and STOP SENSATIONALISM!! It damages
@ReutersUK And who doesn’t get cranky with ink leaking over their hands! On top of the fact he’s grieving and is most likely exhausted! His mother’s days immediately after her father’s death were not publicly televised in real time - she probably had short moments too!
And sure as day slides into night,
Constants change in the blink of an eye.
And change itself is constant
and our loved ones pass us by.
So when you wake upon next morn,
hold all that’s dear close by.
For constancy’s a fickle friend
And change always draws nigh.

So I'm not a Monarchist and I haven't written poetry for literally years (except for 25 words of less competition answers and parody lyrics!), but I felt compelled to pen this
5.
A legend of our modern lives,
A lead player on the stage.
The lady’s ta’en her final bow,
and History’s gained a page.
It matters not if Monarchist,
Republican, or what,
An icon’s gone, a light faded,
but she’ll not be forgot.
