A love in verse

School for Scandal

1995-06-16
Performed by
Garnon Davies

All week I’ve worn this wig and dress

And watched the camp convoy of scandal pass

And asked “For such fey art could I care less

Strutting on heels, so far from my dear lass?”


There’s just one curtain-up I want to see – 

Two lids rising above two marvellous eyes 

The world’s no stage but just a set for me,

A background for the two blue stars I prize.


I’d take the littlest part, however mean,

So long as you are with me in the scene.

No Complaints

I’m only cheerful cos I’m here 

In a room with you

Your sleeping breath is soft and dear...

Blessings

When you ail you reassess

Your life with cold criteria

You feel you’re old and life’s a mess...
