TA TA TOGMEISTER

I woke up with Wogan,
With 8 million others
I even contributed in a small way
Like many sisters and brothers

And when he was usurped
By the upstart Evans
Anton Deck and I
Shook a fist to the heavens

When I woke to the news
Of the Togmeisters demise
A lump filled my throat
And tears filled my eyes

With his warm easy manner
Friendly, witty and clever
He has a new audience now
And I will be a TOG forever

And if she answers no, reply
