A man of few words but as sharp as a tac a mind full of knowledge any topic or fact
A quiet pint In the pub dinner was 1 pm on the dot If you were one minute late all niceties were dropped! The most placid of wives turned into psychopathic killers that’s why men were on time and never late for their dinners
His black and white collie sat faithfully at his feet the odd dropped pork scratching for the occasional treat On the back of his hand a large snort of snuff to clear out his sinuses? one was always enough!
I think of you often the memories and places but what sticks in my mind is the Brylcreem and braces “I miss you dad and your faithful pup ‘Jess’ Happy Heavenly Father’s Day ‘pops’ You were one of the best”
We your servants wait in glee to witness your platinum jubilee we think you truly have excelled to the point of being overwhelmed
The pomp and hype that you’ve endured throughout the decades you’ve matured now you’re solo without your rock all emotions you dutifully block
Hearts in our mouths that the horses behave loving that unmistakable royal wave the booming 82 gun royal salute Paddington Bear was exceptionally cute
The Mall a sea of Union Jacks worldwide attention which always’ attracts the national anthem traditionally played the horses and men stood on parade
Glinting medals in the midday sun the booming of the canons gun trooping the colour in military red Prince William rode and professionally led
The Queen has reigned for 70 years God knows how she’s persevered? constantly watched by the media and press she surely deserves now a well earned rest
