. What did you imagine Would happen I’m as far from you As the North Star I don’t remember Thinking being One of your attributes Relying instead On looks leaps of faith Or whatever it was That served in lieu Of thoughtfulness Mixed with drugs drinks And a little naughtiness Whenever you felt The need arise Time has proved no kinder Even to the best of us And now here we are Under these colored lights The band on tunes That were moribund Years before any one of them Was born No I don’t remember How good it was Having used my ears As well as eyes Oh here comes Dave He’s so much better At telling lies Enjoy Take care Goodbye .

. Juju Actually after more thought I finally changed the title to "Den Grimme Ælling", (I couldn't do it here because of the 24 hour rule), which in Danish means The Ugly Duckling. I like the Danish as title because it doesn't distract from the poem and yet adds something special for anyone curious enough to look it up after. John . |
