Mortal Coil

Nigel Smith sat on a train

setting off to Kingdom Come,

burped and peed and walked and wailed,

loved his darling Dad and Mum.


Studied hard – geography –

fell in love with Cecile,

summoned all his heat and guts,

bedded her – and kids popped out.


Property in Dunstable,

- semi – quite desirable.

Children left at Potters Bar;


(ring-home sometimes) - Skype their Ma;

Hatfield, Welwyn North, Kings Cross,

Nigel joins the queue, gets off.
