Poem


from the ABC set The Patient

It's New Year's Eve
and I desperately want
to feel you're here,
so I call, not expecting
anything from us,
not caring how you'll take it,
I call because

hanging up on true love
is so you,

and you is all I've ever asked.

Sorry Crackers', have to take this at face value, it's very good.

*weeps* a humorless day, what's next? Will the police confiscate the trampoline my raccoons stole?

Luckily my son's platinum trampoline is legitimate property, so you can say I have a spare one.

Thanks E & L

I see you've been trying to phone mum again. Don't blame her, she has to count her hairnets in preparation for yet another lonely day at the raccoon factory.

Your loving overgrown foetus,
Rufus
