A love in verse

Performed by

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

The Best Way Out

We shall fly, head to the south

Where things are hot and nature’s deep

Where love and desire never sleep...

On The Fringe Again

That in the silence we once met

When hearts don’t speak or even see

Is strange – remember on the set...
