A love in verse

The Theatre of Life

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

Brentford, old Brentford – means for me

My lifelong home, my angel-nest

My school, my pastime and, what’s best...
