1st July 2026

 

shower time

but there's something missing

no water

I was sixteen when I attended my first concert;

Thin Lizzy at Stafford Park

paid for by the bloke

who took Sue and I dog training.

He hadn't expected me

and thought he was on a date

but Mum had just died

and Sue wanted to lift my spirits.


To be fair, he thought it was a date

and she wanted me to dissuade him

from any 'funny business'


I wish I could remember his name

but he had a mini with an 8-track;

played the Beatles over and over

and I, too, wanted to be a paperback writer.
