Vignette-Mind Games

Hadrian,a man of defensive thoughts
Fortified Wallsend to Maryport;
Now fallen down,past its use-by-date
This Roman barrier across our land-
In some folks minds,it still stands!

Like the line.."Now fallen down, past its use-by-date"...Got a chuckle..Sometimes we hold on to the past when it should have been let go years before...Sara
