A love in verse

The days would have been rainier

The dark sky never clear

If you’d gone to Tasmania

And sadly I’d stayed here

In the wrong hemisphere


I might have died quite young one day

But been reborn far far away

A silly kangaroo 

And hopped right up to you


And you’d have looked at me, said “streuth  – 

An ugly brute, sport, that’s the truth!”

The cat’s not on our bed today

Instead she’s in your room

I leave the curtain so no ray...

Schubert

Already I’ve forgotten what you wore

Sunday, standing by the fridge; it was black,

And your arm supported the broom...
