Just you and me
across a windy street
Just the elements,
the wind and the sea.
said the hearse
to the knocking door.
'Excellent, excellent'
says a dandy at the eulogy
'He used to save
the biggest boiled egg for me.'

on a hill far away.
'Your Maker will be your husband'
reassures the Preacher,
'I work with human trafficking.'
says the gent next to me.
