She sees me off to go shopping

Loving wife of older man

He’s fit though, he’s no also-ran

He strides out never stopping

Inspired by her so fond and waving

Thinks with each step: my life she’s saving


Without her I’d be long ago lost

She’s given me children, constant love,

A home, a place to be proud of,

Framed in her style. To me, the cost

Was nothing except what’s good to give

Love – an easy way to live


In my life of simple rapture

I spread my net - and what a capture!

Our Last Play Together

I’m in the pub thinking of you

Never been to Rochester

Without you, I feel I’d prefer...

The Handyman

If only energy would stay – 

Two fingers up to eighty-two – 

Because you’re ill I’d wait on you...
