The landmine cost him three of his limbs,

Using squaddie banter he winks,

Hurrah, the crown jewels survived!

Don’t look back in anger,

Replace bitterness,

With keen hope for,

The next thing.

Crack on …

Right?

Chapter 17 – Summary from the Wisdom of Corporal Andy Reid

The Post has been inspired by If I Could Tell You Just One Thing by Richard Reed.

Over the 62 days, in Dec and Jan, my challenge is to share the learning from each of the 62 chapters; hopefully in a poem, but who knows?  Follow my progress with the #JustOneThing Tag

Happy to explore what you make of the post in the comments below? 🙂

I love words - they communicate so much or so little depending on how you use them. Come and explore my thoughts with me in this, my learning journal. View all posts by TheHiddenEdge
