My Ode To Thomas Drew
<  >
<  >

now let me tell a tale for you
about a boy who knew
that love in life comes only once
his name was thomas drew

at school a girl they called her sue
long hair and well to do
she took his breath away from him
and fell for tommy too

her birthday came a party threw
and with it special brew
he kissed her hand and held her tight
and danced the whole night through

they did the things all lovers do
pubs clubs and movies too
and underage they were of course
but no one ever knew

was sixteen then but not dear sue
arranged a rendevous
and in her room they lay entwined
were both in honey dew

a moment shared could not undo
and now she was but two
her mother came to say goodnight
a sight to misconstrue

she loves you thomas drew
she loves you thomas drew
she loves you still
she always will
she loves you thomas drew

her father freaked he floored tom too
and in a rage he flew
he locked her in the bathroom scared
their passion now taboo

in overdrive his weight he threw
and called his boys in blue
she needed tom she cried for him
a swab found residue

the bastards they did interview
harass and then pursue
hed lost his mind and run away
arrested waterloo

they charged him then for raping sue
her mind in turmoil too
and soon they hauled him off to court
inside denied she grew

the judgement came with much ado
a cell a borstal screw
who beat him up and buggered him
each arm a dark tattoo

ignored him then as he withdrew
his body black and blue
and from his bunk he hanged himself
his check well overdue

she loves you thomas drew
she loves you thomas drew
she loves you still
she always will
she loves you thomas drew

they sold his soul for hell to chew
and all for loving sue
so when the boy was born to her
she named him tommy too

and so his tale ive told for you
my ode is all but through
we love him still we always will
my father thomas drew

Hi Everybody,

All going well here.

Been up and well for 11 days and counting (a record for the last twelve months!) and been very busy too.

I think the Lamotrigine is kicking in. (Now up to 125mg)

First time in ages that I have been able to do all the things I’ve been needing and wanting to do. I have even achieved things that have been sat on my to-do list on my computer since January!

Plenty of things to be blogging about at the moment, just not enough time to do it.

Just got back from doing the weekly food shop (though I admit I spent the hour in the car reading Tony Kusher’s Angels in America for my homework while Richard whizzed round Morrison’s with the green boxes in the trolley!) and have a had a few minutes to blog while Rich is cooking dinner.

Will watch the Gadget Show, then get back to some more writing.

Yes, this week I’m writing like mad. (Another first in ages). I’m on a deadline for next Monday; but that’s another post! More info later. (I can hear Pete cracking the whip!)

Have had this poem/lyric as a draft post for a while now (it was written on March 15th) so thought I’d post it today.

Hope you enjoyed it!

Richard’s calling me for dinner. Adios.
