We Can Swing Together
Inspired By A Lindisfarne Song About Togetherness And Vocal Social Society's #BetterTogether Vibe
Introduction
I was listening to Lindisfarne's first five albums and there are so many songs on there that I could use to inspire poetry, then "We Can Swing Together" came on, and it's about a party being broken up by the police and the partygoers ending up in jail before the beak, but it is all very light-hearted and fun and I thought that title reminds me of the Vocal Social Society #BetterTogether hashtag, and it is so much better when we work together rather than fight. So here we go.

Introduction This came from a chat with someone very special, the song is one she loves. I tried to weave some elements of the song into the villanelle but if you listen as you read you may hear where Shania's words and mine coincide.
