REVOIR
At Andy’s wake
The decades dissolved
Immediate recognition
Clear memories.
But Forest Green!
You’ve strayed
Adulterously.
A convert?
Methodists not Popes
Where you live
Why settle for a chapel?
Seduced by vegan burgers?
Maybe the Sirens called?
But Odysseus returned to Ithaca
The suitor was vanquished
Penelope awaits with open arms
Fleming, Rogers, Trollope
Moss, Hoddle, even Doyle
The Phoenix is rising from the ashes
Is the forest really greener?
STFC is home
