Lily

from the ABC set

Lily liked cremated steak
and cut off all the fat,
ordered Veuve Cliquot
and let it go quite flat,
inherited a guinea pig
and fed it to her cat,
crotcheted a trendy shoulder bag
and wore it as a hat,
hoarded local classifieds
to decorate her flat,
died alone in Haringey.
Nothing funny about that.

no there isn't - it's very sad. It makes a good poem though

Hi Ewan.
Agree with insert.

"...died alone in Haringey.

Sadly where I live this happens frequently.
Regards.
