introduces me to a novel form, the waltz
which requires the following syllabification.

THE SINGING BUTLER
Rain.
Wet sand.
Clouds
Above
Threatening.
Alice,
Damp,
Shivering.
Fred the Butler.
Romantic.
Singing
Songs
Of love.
You and I
Waltzing.
Bliss
In my
Arms.

REALISATION!
As the train drew in she said 'Oh hell!
I've left my tickets at the hotel!'
This was, for her, the grand finale.
She never ever got to Bali!

The first turned out to be more romantic than I expected, Brenda.
The second made me laugh.

I so love the end!
It IS such a romantic moment, but not so much for Fred and Alice. Your eye sees unerringly! Much enjoyed.
Who cares about Bali when you have a singing Butler to amuse you! What a delightful poem!
Intriguing.
