A cheap choc-ice
A Christmas card
For the benefit
Of retired jockeys
A piping hot
Cup of tea
And the wood-burner
So so fully alight
Such a rush
Out of the evening nap
Such a world
To break into, or out of
Taken to ones doze
With words about William Wordsworth
With words about Thomas A Clarke
With words about Frank O’Hara
Such a literary stroll
Towards the light sleep
Such a poetic saunter
To those moments of grace
