Autograph your dicrotic cast

That rook and that fair raven

Over the sea from Milford Haven

Cigarettes stamped ‘A’ by company Craven


Ashberry and yew, and years spent misbehaving

Words untrue, lines that slew, croons that keep on slaving

Crows and crows and thought yo yo’s, leaving and waving


The hour glass tipped and turned to yesterday

The wayward path tripped to Everglade

The Sunshine orchestra is ready for the stage


That rook and that fair raven

Grass and dales, pail with ships that sailed

Rails into the distance on cowpokes trails


Leaves of glass on shattered brass

Diamonds; the impasse from rusty pasts

Lust and laugh, autograph your dicrotic cast
