Our Man in Europe/now Belize/Dave Delacroix: "Entertaining Mr. Sloane." (Après British 60's Playwright, JOE ORTON.)
"Entertaining Mister Sloane!" (An Origami for your Mind.)
HIDE & SEEK (a children's game/before the Internet), count to 100: I'm coming ready or not! When ya MOM, busy, under her skirts ushered U outside & said "GO OUT & PLAY" -when "play" is what U did?
Or singing a Medieval protest song over a Queens/Royalties lavish spending, careless of civic responsibilities: "London Bridge is falling down, London Bridge is falling down, my fair Lady!"
On a darker note (the Black Plague) singing: "Ring-a-ring a Roses, a pocket full of Poesies, Atishoo! Atishoo! -we All fall down."
Whilst HUMPTY-DUMPTY (the Grand Old Duke of York), he fell off the wall? And despite commanding 10,000 Men, all the Kings horses and all the Kings men could NOT put him back together again.
Are U going to Scarborough Fair? =Parsley, sage, rosemary & Tyme. Remember me to one who lives there; she once was a true love of mine.
It's not the leaving of Liverpool that GRIEVES me but me-darling when I think of thee! Whilst "the Stirling's in Sheffield on a Saturday Night": "There R few who face such hardships as We poor Grinders do."
So, YOU take the high road & I'll TAK the low road, but I'll be in Scotland before YA, but me & my true love will never meet again on the bonnie-bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
It's a long way to Tipperary; it's a long way to go. (To that Geraldine I know?) Goodbye Piccadilly, farewell Leicester Square (with no G.P.S./"sans" bullet-proof vest/I'm a name on a WW1 town memorial) but My heart's right there!
...Goodbye Brendan & farewell Sean. Our time was short, our hopes-forlorn? But still I remember those days of gold, those green fields of France & the towns we loved so well & PETE'S gone back to Cavern Town.
And we'll all go together to pick wild mountain thyme, all across the blooming heather; will ye go Lassy-go?
c.2026. Dave Delacroix.
