This palindrome is inspired by those trainsets you get and ignore as child, but become obsessed with as a retired Grandfather. These old men in their attics and sheds create this idyllic landscapes in the most minutiae detail based upon the sceneries invented by their rose tinted nostalgia. But as Simone Signoret said in 1975, "nostalgia isn't what it used to be," and they are missing the truth of history.
Old men hobbyists,
And young novelists
Create their own little worlds.
Based on reality
Letting their mind flee
A power of God unfurled.
But it isn't true
Skies aren't always blue
Quaint, peaceful and full of bliss
These make believe lands
Crafted by many hands
by men who just need a kiss.
