Come, have a drink with me –
Care can swallow love,
And tasks devour time
Enough of cups of tea!
Your eyes, ever more sublime,
Dancing bright above
A brown and friendly beer
Will soon meet mine, my dear
Intoxicatingly.
Well, are there words to tell it all?
On eighty odd years to set the seal,
One aphoristic phrase to call...
In terms of worldly achievement, no,
Not an impressive report to make:
Like, nothing published, whilst long ago...
