Notes About The Poem

This poem is included in my Book/eBook ‘Clive’s Uni-Verse: A Cornishman’s take on life’.

 

Uncle Albert

He was always 
Known to everyone as
Uncle Albert,
He used to sign all 
My birthday cards as
Uncle Albert,
He used to turn around 
When I shouted 
Uncle Albert,
He was who we visited 
When we went to see 
Uncle Albert.

But I'm sorry to say, 
He's now belated,
Sadly passed away, 
Dead and cremated,
And what I 
Can't understand,
And what I am 
Eager to learn,
Why has everyone 
Stopped calling him 
Uncle Albert,
And started 
Calling him 
Uncle Urn?
