When you ail you reassess

Your life with cold criteria

You feel you’re old and life’s a mess

And happiness is but hysteria


But when you pile your blessings high

Well, fit or not, you’re truly glad

A girl whom goldmines wouldn’t buy

And darling daughters – life’s not bad!


My girl goes wandering in Primark

To purchase for me tracksuit bottoms

To wear on holiday – what a lark

If pearls and gold are good, I’ve got ‘em

Were I as famous as Ken Branagh

Without you I’d be always blue

Do Not Regret

Why should one so good and fair

From the world’s store find delight

With a sixty-year-old man?...

Vain Summer Things

In void cloudless afternoons

With dust on kerbs, trees weary with the sun

I thought of things, things I might do...
