BOB’S POEM

 

Bob Drewett was one of our number unable to attend the dinner this year. He sent a poem to Terry Bryant to read out after the dinner but unfortunately the hotel did not deliver the envelope to Terry until the party had broken up.

 

AN AFTERTHOUGHT

 

      1.    I send this poem to Terry                                 5.   You may think this funny

with the hope that he might tell                         and even want to laugh

that we were coming to Leamington                        but each time that I piddle

but, I ain’t been very well                                     I'm filling up the bath

                                               

      2.  I've been and had my hip done                          6.  Soon it will be all over

and it feels so nice and new                                  and I'll be feeling in the "pink"

the Surgeon is delighted                                       I can then revert to my method

he's going to do the left "one two"                       of peeing in the sink

           

       3.  My hearts gone all a flutter                             7.  May your week-end be of laughter

and doing things it shouldn't oughter                    and encouraging good cheer

The doctor has told me that                                  and with luck and supreme guidance

I'm filling up with water                                       I will see you all next year. 

 

       4.  He says to " take the tablets"                         

to drain the fluid off

but please be very careful

especially when you cough

 

We hope you will be feeling on top of the world again soon Bob and raring to resume your role as our M.C. at next year’s Reunion.
