72 Miles From The Sea

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern

Contrary to the rumour, live on

They are based in Blackpool

Where they do summer season

There were two flags flying on adjacent poles

In all weathers as wind and hail they braved

And in all the years the two flags silently flew

They never once spoke, they simply waved

There is great humour to be found

Among the numerous Americans

But for me the funniest of them all

Have got to be the Punsylvanians

I am deeply in love and joyously happy

In our rewarding, loving Relationship

In fact I am walking on air in my joy

And get a natural high from our elationship

I went for Health and Safety training

On the safe and proper use of a ladder

And when the instructor began with

“Step one” I couldn’t have been gladder

Old classic songsmiths croon

Their sweet romantic tune

Of the lovers sweet embrace

Beneath a silent silvery moon

When I first saw the Blue Planet

Being advertised on widely on TV

I have to confess that nature wasn’t

The first thought that came to me
