A big ‘thank you’ to Roger McGough who wrote this poem and recorded the video below especially for Royston Arts Festival 2020.

This morning I threw caution to the wind.

Unfortunately, the wind dropped suddenly 
And caution crashed to the ground. 

I tried to put it together again 
But like Humpty, it couldn’t be put 
So, I threw the pieces into grandad’s shed 
Making sure the door was shut 

Now I’m off in search of adventure 
Headstrong and devil-may-care 
Impetuous and reckless 
Come join me if you dare!
