Poem Title:
Poem
Exfoliated Eddie is an eagle eyed spy He likes hot Hoxton coffee with his cold Shepherd’s Pie Crazy for a Sheffield lass, a Steel City shrew Her conversation’s retro but her attitude is new. Flopping like a flapper in a 20s Bluebell hat Comes Information Irene with her ever ready chat With Rock steady Rory making stories out of facts Their veracity is skinny but they’re generous like that. Annihilation Annie’s sitting waiting for a fool She never wants to play the game but loves to break the rules At the table by the window now she’s looking out the door Left her right glove on the bus and dropped the other on the floor Say goodnight to the sailors, say good heavens to the sea The light on the horizon must remain a mystery Nancy joined the Navy but she never had a chance Argued with the Admiral, got lagging at the dance She’s dreaming of the oceans from the comfort of the land And she’ll empty out your pockets if you offer her your hand The sailors are all sleeping now, in softly rocking beds, No mattress for their bodies and no pillow for their heads Say goodnight to the sailors, say good gracious to the sea The light on the horizon must remain a mystery
