A final final copy of my book arrived for me to re-check the editing. That trumps if you’ll l pardon the expression, my blog for the day.

Anon.
When I turned 80 (it fair give me a turn)
I planned to give me a party (best laid plans)
No one could come (no one I knew well)
Well
You can make new friends (but you can’t make old ones)
So
Mohammed and the mountain (I must look that up)
I went to them
Jo left before I got there
I stayed with Agnes
And then Virginia
And Phyllis had a party for me
Not easy (never easy)
Not as young as I was (was I ever?)
Nerves catching (contagious)
Schedules and deadlines
Planes buses taxis trains (contiguous)
Now
Jo left before I got there
Agnes left last week
Virginia is in and out
Phyllis is in the departure lounge
And I (of ladies most deject and wretched)
Am left behind
I’m going to be late
