EDITORS COMMENTS
"A Merry Truncheon-derful Christmas! Hark! 'Tis the season of merriment and cheer, But let us not forget the year of Bloody November we hold dear. In Trafalgar Square, where the air was thick with strife, The Metropolitan Police, with truncheons in their life. A comic verse for the yuletide, with a twist of pun, To lighten the mood of that fateful day, when the sun Set on the riots, a spectacle of chaos and rage, Where the crowd's anger, like a wild, untamed cage. This humble truncheon, a symbol of order and control, A wooden, leather-strapped weapon, a tool of the bold. Its presence, a reminder of the action that unfolded, A tale of courage and resilience, of stories untold. So here's to the truncheon, a Victorian relic of yore, May its comic verse bring a smile to your Christmas door. Merry Christmas and may the spirit of laughter and joy, Echo through the halls of history, and never be a toy." A late Victorian Christmas card, with a touch of wordplay and pun, A nod to the past, to the truncheon and the fun, In the heart of London, where the Trafalgar Square riots unfurled, A comic verse on a Christmas card, a timeless, witty pearl.
