A love in verse

Waterloo to Brentford

Waterloo to Brentford and back 

To an horizon of writhing track

Rain on blue trains laying dust

Falls from a sky of grey and black 

And on the just and the unjust

I’m mixed of both but, love, are you? 

I can’t believe  that to be true.


You’re only just. Oh, let me prize

(Just right, just perfect, just ideal – 

Just perfect blue, just ideal eyes)

With lovely Allie a brief meal

For which I’ve rushed from Waterloo

(Just to spend some time with you)


Come to deliver a flying kiss.

Just an hour at home – so what?

Though travelling’s long, to know the bliss

Of Allie by me’s my best shot.

Just a kiss, two, three or seven

Just to be with her’s just heaven.

Day’s Reprieve

The garden settles in for the evening

The sun’s gone down behind the trees

The still light sky won't let the night bring...

Wot a Girl

She climbs in the car

Fag in mouth and hair in wind

Fiddles with the door and waves...
