misread as "discarded First Ladies"

@[email protected] Had to look up diphthong in my copy of the Uxbridge English dictionary: very skimpy swimwear.

I want to know more of Carter and his ladder. Also, I too grieve for Newport Pagnell, swallowed up by the vastness that is Milton Keynes. But not as much as I do for Olney.😉

These lines provide more questions than answers.

well every bit of research just opens up a whole lot more questions

...or have you just made a new poem?
