Alternating nets and magnets of sunshine and rain
Sifting through rest and strain  

When by default I favour a fault
That in my right sense I should halt

Original version:

Phone for the fish knives, Norman
As cook is a little unnerved;
You kiddies have crumpled the serviettes
And I must have things daintily served.

Are the requisites all in the toilet?
The frills round the cutlets can wait
Till...

Lead us one by one into the words we say.
Looking into another’s eyes,
So clearly understanding their story as time flies.
Flies so quickly that one word can’t be taken back,
As some stand still...

The Eagle

Less
