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Handy ACRONYM  sadly outdated

Gary Radice May 21, 2023 at 11:27 AM I've always liked H.O.L.L.A.N.D because I'm a bit of a softie. :) Great poem SuZ. I'm glad I checked in.

Gershon Wolf May 10, 2023 at 7:08 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 May 10, 2023 at 11:22 AM Hi Suzanne. This takes me back some decades. We also used: BOLTOP, SWALK, SIAM, CHINA, BURMA, ITALY and others. Tony Suzanne Delaney May 10, 2023 at 11:36 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
