I lost my Barbour
In Twickenham car park
Seems I was fazed by
My Varsity Gal
Through Donald Sinden's
Theatrical memories
We laughed a while
Until Libby had to go home

I left my Chomsky
At the Waterstone's book launch
Umberto Eco
Iranian crepes
Invited us down to his gite
Fresh bread, kaleidoscope
Kinder Scout and Mam Tor

I blew my Giro
On debt and essentials
Cosi Fan Tutte
I'll miss you again
I asked for water
They sent me a final demand
Placepot Uttoxeter
Down by one thirty-five
