The Illustrated Tigress of Raynes Park
~ First Lines Part One ~
A scarlet red cardigan I always loved to see
All farmers and vets were confounded
All Softies have serious pasts
As apprentice I had a wise master on the farm
Auntie May, daughter and spinster of Bescar lane
Cox thy name, coxswain be gentlewoman
Fixated twinkling two eyes find
From the Wirral, you did spring
Flying far, I sought to land
Have we misread our intentions?
He cheerfully cycles in before the morning sun
He who wanders is not lost
How do I talk emotionally to him?
If I exchanged a rose for each mistake
If you decide to browse a while
I raised you from a young calf
I remember well an ever-faithful friend
