Notes About The Poem

 

http://worldwidewords.org/articles/asye.htm

Norwich

Back during World War 11 -
written on the backs of envelopes
NORWICH
reveals our parent’s were quite, naughty too.
In a roundabout way, saying,“Get ready to screw”-
I never had a clue; Mum knew
“kNickers Off Ready When I Come Home”. 
I thought NORWICH- was where Dad was located. 
Handy ACRONYM  sadly outdated

Gershon Wolf Date: 5/10/2023 7:08:00 PM Wow, that's amazing! ... What a poison can loin if he's curyus!... As for me, I thought that Norwich meant Norwich, CT -- right next to Sandwich, IL. ~ Mr. Know-it-all (and then some). lol.

Tony Hargreaves Date: 5/10/2023 11:22:00 AM Hi Suzanne. This takes me back some decades. We also used: BOLTOP, SWALK, SIAM, CHINA, BURMA, ITALY and others. Tony Login to Reply Suzanne Delaney Date: 5/10/2023 11:36:00 AM Hi Tony: The only one I am familiar with is SWALK. They all sound intriguing . Now we have texting and the abbreviations for those would take a tech course to figure them all out. SuZ
