The Singing Butler

                               Vettriano

IMAGINARY GARDEN
introduces me to a novel form, the waltz
which requires the following syllabification. 
 1,2,1,2,3,2,1,2,3,4,3,2,1,2,3,2,1,2,1

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!
