'sand In the Sandwiches'

Today I saw ‘Sand in the Sandwiches’ Edward Fox was playing Sir John What joy to hear his wonderful words it was like he had never been gone On the train journey home I’m inspired ~ to put down my feelings in words But unlike Sir John’s I have little doubt that these will ever be heard The play it was filled with humour some naughty and some good It also contained much pathos which in turn made me think, as it should Of times when life was simpler where happiness and joy would abound And when Sand got into the Sandwiches much laughter and joy all around Written 19 October 2018 Sir John Betjeman CBE was an English poet, writer, and broadcaster.
