Lets hear it for The Curtain Pole! Knuckling down to its task day in day out, allowing the far more popular curtain to take all the praise as it goes about its vital business with dignity and humility. Home improvement and personal privacy wouldnt be where they are today without these silent warriors.
Very much part of the home improvement underground movement, the curtain pole has been forced out of hiding in recent years. No longer able to shy away from publicity but thrust into an unwanted but derserved spotlight.
In times past, curtain poles were relegated to the dark corridors and dingy shelves of giant DIY outlets. What a difference now as curtain pole specialists jostle for position and prestige with shops dedicated to them an their accessories.
Back in the day, the standard wooden curtain pole was all that money could buy. Thanks to evolution and the process of natural selection, curtain poles have become much shinier and now exist in many different shapes, sizes, textures and colours. The metal curtain poles in particular have announced themselves on the new millennium.
They say all that glitters isn't gold, but you would be hard pressed to find fault with the role of the faithful curtain pole. In this modern designer world, curtain poles and tracks have been liberated, daring and bold, no longer satisfied with a back seat, no longer satisfied with a bit part, no longer waiting for a curtain call but stepping out into the limelight and taking centre stage, seizing their window of opportunity.
The world would be a a much more exposed place without our curtain pole friends. How they have transformed our personal sense of security and privacy. How they have formed such an amazing alliance with curtains. I hear the spokescurtain claim that if curtain poles were to take industrial action and go on strike, that curtains everywhere would lose their will to live and just collapse where they once stood. Let us not take the feat of the might curtain pole lightly, let us not be blind to their power.
Draw back the curtains and enjoy a new dawn and a bright future. Draped in success, adorned in colour and splendour, the humble curtain pole is here and will remain a part of all of our lives, wherever we live, whatever we do. Long live the curtain pole!
