Legendary t-shirt,
Relegated to night shirt,
Celebrates Barcelona
1988 Olympics,
Grey – was black -
Holey – was whole -
Moth eaten
Relic,
Like Compo.

I love this stone. But forgive my ignorance–who or what is Compo?

LOL! Glad you like the stone, Colette. Compo is an elderly, smelly (looking) character in one of the UK’s best loved comedy series about life in a rural village. It maybe doesn’t transcend the pond
Good you liked the stone anyway – Polly x

Oh, that explains it! Thanks for the boat (to cross the pond)!

Colette, forgive me, I have assumed you’re overseas – unforgiveable?

No, I’m not overseas, YOU’re overseas! Just kidding, we could go on like this forever… yes, I’m in the U.S.
