A bit hard for me Dennis. I could be wrong but I wondered if you are alluding to the long term effects of soldiers exposed to 2,4,5-T + dioxin known as agent orange.

The poem is a bit of a mixture really starting with the title
and I guess could be interpreted in different ways, but that's
not what I was thinking Neville, although it's an interesting take.

and here I was thinking it a tragic relic left over from the 60's - when orange, lime green, purple and mission brown ruled :lol: :lol: :lol: But I'm probably wrong - have been before :roll:

Fun write Dennis

Cheers
