Aftermath

BLUE MONDAY

AFTERMATH

How quickly the excitement passed.

Now all is drab again.

With London approaching winter,

When it will, most likely, rain.

I remember when it was Sydney

And we were on a high.

How soon it slipped into the past,

Into the 'days gone by'.

This picture captured the magic

A pink moon in a sky of blue,

When London was showing the Universe

All the things that it could do.

'The dust cart follows the Lord Mayor's Show'

My mother used to say.

'To travel is better than arriving'...

Be that as it may.

We live on anticipation,

We feed on memory,

And in between there's a moment

Of breathless history.

Mad Kane gave us the first line.

JUST WAIT!

A woman who just let it slip

That she didn't give waiters a tip,

Got a hot coffee (large)

Down her decolletage

And was crowned by a great big egg-flip!
