A love in verse

The Theatre of Life

1999-10-30
Performed by
Pip Swallow

Elliot and Amanda 

Once long ago

We nearly played them

They said “no”


Ayckbourn instead, love,

Not quite the same

I the great lover,

You the old flame


We would have wowed them

We’d have been grand

But still such lovers

Still hand-in-hand


Moonlight is silver

Sunlight is gold

Glad you still love me

Now we are old. 


It’s not that good but it means so much to Allie and me – PG 27/09/17

Energy of Love

What people see when they enter our home

Is not a shabbiness, a bit of dust

The wear in carpets, evidence of rust...

Relatively Speaking

What about that Allie woman?

I’m glad to be sad if I’m with her

Truly despite what might occur...
