a poem I wrote some years ago — as of posting this in 2025 (probably around three decades, in fact!) in a moment of desire to try to work in various Dickensian references (more-or-less :D)… it took a little research and I still have to read several of Dicken’s opuses referred to in the rhyme… this poem also appears in my collected works, of which a revised hard cover version will soon be available from amazon or other bookshops …it is already currently available worldwide for kindle: https://amzn.to/4hDIXjy
