If a fraction of the effort that went into
Research
of women’s breasts and their bras
Had
instead gone into exploration
Of
space, the galaxy, and the stars
We
would today be operating
Burger

LOST SOULS
The selfish
Self-deluding
Act of release
At the end
The point of serenity
Marking an end
And a beginning
For the one
Peace
A perfect painless peace
An end of heart ache
Physical pain
Emotional sorrow
Loneliness perhaps
For those remaining
Pain begins
Picking up threads
Of a self-extinguished life
Tying loose ends
Cleaning up the mess
Hating them
While mourning them
Loving them
While despising them
Coming to terms
With the loss
DAME THORA HIRD
It was on the news that I heard
About
the loss of dame Thora Hird
She
died at the age of ninety-one
She
always reminded me of my mum
I
will really miss dear Thora Hird
She
was ordinary, yes that’s the word
Thora
Hird was down to earth I’d say
The
lass who came from Morecambe bay
She
trod the boards since a babe in arms
But
no pomposity was one of her charms
With
a glint in her eye, she would say
In
that warm and conspiratorial way
The
best thing to come out of Yorkshire
Was
the road to her beloved Lancashire
SPLITTING UP
In Norwich at my local pub, I sat
After a pint and a couple of gins
And contemplated relationships
With my muckers for their sins
“I’m divorcing my sweetheart
And soul mate” I tell my friends
“There will be no animosity” I add
“And we will always stay cousins”

A French playboy Nickie
Ferrante (Cary Grant) full of continental
charm and an American, former nightclub singer, Terry McKay (Deborah
Kerr) meet aboard a ship.

sees her as stand-offish, but inevitably they fall in love.
After visiting his Grandmother (Cathleen
Nesbitt) on the island of Madeira he planned to travel to New
York to marry a rich heiress, which has been well publicized, as have his many
antics and affairs, and Terry was returning home to her long-time boyfriend
Kenneth Bradley (Richard Denning).
However on the crossing their plans change,
but he has a poor track record relationship wise and no history of working for
a living so in order to give him the chance to earn an honest living and prove
himself, which would also give them time to deal with their current
relationships.
So, they agree to distance themselves but
arrange to reunite six months later on top of the Empire State building.
In the meantime, he returns to painting and is
reasonably successful at it and she becomes a music teacher.
On the agreed date, Nickie is waiting patiently
for Terry, who is racing to join him however fate intervenes resulting in
misunderstanding and heartbreak and only fate can correct its intervention to
save their relationship.
