A love in verse

My 82nd

I gladly raise this glass of scotch

To my girl Allie Rose, my love

Who bought the bottle, certain of

It’s good reception – she will watch

Her old man sink it happily

Simply glad to be with me

 

All the things I’d like to say

About her she just said to me!

While I embraced her strenuously

Such things she said quite blew away

My gladdened heart – she is so dear

Birthdays and always I’ll be near

To her till I am very old

Drinking her whisky, sweet and gold

No You

All the fine fire sun sends down.

The leaving green, the heaving sea, the air 

Cool as a dream of snow in Africa...

Each to His Own

These autumn days I’m chuffed inside

No chat about the ‘dying year’

Just how glad I am I’m here...
