Role Reversal
Dear Dad, forget that you forgot.
You think it matters? It does not.
Forget the blokes with builders’ bums.
Forget the teenage single mums.
Forget the gays. Forget the blacks.
Forget the bloody council tax.
Forget the horrid eco-crimes
Reported in the Sunday Times.
It’s curtains for the polar bear.
To hell with it. We won’t be there.
Remember Paris in the rain,
Cuban cigars and pink champagne,
Remember Mum. I know you do.
And me, as I remember you.
Welcome Joy. Farewell to Sorrow.
And lunch with me in town tomorrow.
