when one day

 

when one day


when one day they say of me

he has gone and died he has

suddenly oh so suddenly

and they say of me he was


a miserable git

a waste of space

so glad he’s gone that’s it that’s it

no more this stage he’ll grace


never liked the chap at all

talked like he owned the place

of all the ones who deserved to fall

he deserved to lose the race


he’ll not be missed

he had all his life behind him

had a good innings they hissed

jim the swim they called him


now he’s drowned under 

disapprobation

all memories disowned 

at this his final station


goodbye they cheered

take all your pebble poems

black and white and salt veneered 

and stick them up your …


cough cough ~ ahem ~ ahem
