Sea of Hope
Cast adrift in a deep wide yonder I bide my time with sing-song. With too much time to wonder 'Where has all my life gone?' My futile paddling gains me little But helps to occupy my hopeless sole.

Treading the risqué boards
I am preping to get back on stage this weekend. Monday night I shall audition for Noël Coward's Design For Living which is an interesting production.
