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

Love

Another Christmas day, carols and praise – 

Two dozen Christmases we’ve shared – and more...

Growing Old

You feel beleaguered when you’re old

For what’s to come? Fuck all, you’d say

The last few sunsets slip away…
