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

Flavour

I dine out on love – all your fantastic foods 

Seduce the palate and outrage restraint

But grub is not the sum of all my goods...

Third Person Singular

I lift iced whisky mixed with lemonade

To lips I love, watch cigarette smoke

Caress the evening light...
