Aye, though plenty of fire in some old folks. It just takes a bit more out of them afterwards. Some are too ‘cold’ to fight too. I feel a poem coming on, I should stop. laughs
“Tubs o’ lard” which could be either describing these fat people you mention or an Irish character actor and comedian from the 1930s. I like to think it’s the latter. Unfortunately, if I do think this, as you probably already know, it becomes real, and, in the case of the great Tubs O’ Lard, his reality was not always rosy. No, drink and debauchery did lead him down that path so sadly well traveled by many others leading them only to disease and death. Poor, Tubs, the funniest Irishman the world ever saw. Long may he be remembered!
Absolutely! If only we could erase all the guns and the media creeps who use said lead to manipulate the all consuming terror in this world, leaving the true (in more sense than one) artists and writers to take their place.

Forget the pencil, give me the lead. Scratching, scrawling, dragging and marking time. Make that stuff work any way you can.
