Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Will the Real Eleanor Rigby Please Stand Up

Eleanor Rigby, fact, fiction--answer,
Perchance, perceived, or concealed around her, 
Paul, composed most precise, John conveyed some,
Fancied, "HELP!" lead actress, Eleanor Bron.

A prime signature found but Bron, risky,
Paul preferred some shop near Bristol, Rigby,
Indeed, 'Rigby & Evens' Limited,
Wine & Spirit Shippers, Paul visited.

Paul, through a conference, imagines loads,
When he pens lyrics, home or beside roads,
He settles within thoughts, who, where, what, when,
And conclusively, it reaches him--then.

Though she comprised Paul's imagination,
Her named song gave her, world recognition.
