[Jayne Osborn]

Good luck everyone. I'll need a bit of a nudge to think of something...
(I vaguely remember the Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch - "Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat. Say no more, squire", or something along those lines.)

COMPETITION NO 142 by Tessa Castro

The Government has taken to nudging us, by asking, when we renew our
driving licences, whether we want to be organ donors, or by making us opt out of paying for pensions. So a poem, please, not necessarily on political nudging, with the title ‘Nudge, nudge’.
