Glacial Discrimination


When I was a wee lad there

existed a chocolate box at

Christmas, it was called

Quality Street, a selection.


Instead of having a leafy

  tree lined urban classic

     scene on the cover,

it could have had a terrace

of a coal mining community

known as Quantity Street.


But no, because inferority

  lowers the value of any

product it seems and that

not only applies in human

terms, but also to animals.


Today, our first frost I noticed

a horse that had been fitted

with an all weather Winter coat.


Whereas, a herd of Charolais in

the neighbouring field, were not.
