AN ODE TO CYRIL, OUR TRUE FRIEND
WE MET CYRIL & JEANNE ON A BEACH IN SALOU
THEY LAY IN THE SUN WITH NOTHING TO DO
THEY BORROWED OUR KIDS FOR A MORNING YOU SEE
EXPLORING THE ROCK POOLS RIGHT NEXT TO THE SEA
OUR FRIENDSHIP BEGAN AS WE VISITED HULL
NATIONAL AVENUE WAS NEVER DULL
WE PLAYED IN THE TEN FOOT ON STILTS HE HAD MADE
THE DAYS WERE SO HOT SO WE KEPT TO THE SHADE
WE VISITED BEVERLEY ARMS HOTEL
BEVERLEY MINSTER AND NELLIES AS WELL
THE DOG AND DUCK NOW THAT WAS THE VENUE
TO HAVE A PUB MEAL AND SELECT FROM THE MENU
NOW HORNSEA POTTERY WELL THAT WAS JUST GRAND
TO HAVE A LIVE FALCON LAND ON ONES HAND
CYRIL SPOKE SO FONDLY, HOW PROUD OF HIS FAMILY
THE DELIGHT IN JEANNES FACE OF MEMORIES SO VIVIDLY
IT’S BEEN 40 YEARS SINCE THAT CHANCE MEETING AND WE WILL ALWAYS SAY WHAT A PLEASURE IT HAS BEEN KNOWING HIM OUR TRUE FRIEND AND HIS FAMILY.
PLEASE ACCEPT OUR SINCERE CONDOLENCES
LOVE TO YOU ALL, WILF, ANGIE, TANYA AND LEE XXXX
