The Isle of Man

Jan Allyson lives on The Isle of Man
Where “today” has yet to catch up
Watched a documentary on TV recently
What a charming wee isle it tis
“Yesterday” is everywhere you look
In this fast paced life of today
Jan must be aware of how lucky she is
To be surrounded by such beauty
To wake up each morning
To this charming slice of paradise
Must be absolutely overwhelming  
Dear Jan, I am so envious of your wee isle

Tom Cunningham Date: 6/17/2022 5:36:00 AM I've only seen pics and on tv and it looks lovely, Jan came from the city and moved there and has never looked back. The Bee Gees came from there. Tom PS.
