Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Comfort me with Green

I need my father and my brother back,

Their sins and crimes I will overlook!

I just need my family nearer to me,

To provide more material for another book.

 

Let’s drink, once more from the loving cup!

Let’s toast “The Family!” with dry champagne!

(I just hope Wills doesn’t beat me up,

Or throw me out when he starts to reign!)

 

I do have a beautiful actor-wife,

And I try my best to please her.

We work hard to combat climate change,

By lounging about in a hilltop mansion

And spending those thirty pieces of silver…

Thanks very much Stephen. I might go to Davos but it sounds expensive 😂

Wonderfully entertaining, John. Next stop Davos, I suppose. (Them, I mean, but go if they invite you.)
