1173

                 The George

      At Dorchester on Thames.

My haddock almost swims away

       And I must make a nest

     Within the wilted spinach

     For my soft poached egg.

       But in the end it seems

              It will suffice.

          My plate is clean.

3rd anniversary of Brian's death.

 Dining at Garsington

Selfishly, I hope that I die first

But if I ever have to live alone

Meals like this may help to compensate

For empty days of being on my own.

A little block of chocolate

Powder'd o'er

With cocoa

And I'm wearing

My cream suit.

Mad dogs and Englishmen

Dine in the rain at Garsington.
