Gravediggers’ Lament 1969 (Finale)
‘Ere comes annuver bloody box,
This vicar’s on the make.
Corblimey mister, don’t die yet,
It’s still me cawfee break!
Drablr is a tough mistress! That’s why it’s so good. I discovered this poem amongst my memorabilia recently when I was ‘encouraged’ to tidy up my appallingly messy study, with floor completely covered with horizontal filing. So much paper, even in today’s world. I don’t want to look at it, so I ignore it. But then I can’t throw it out and I don’t know what to do with it.
“File it!” she says, but my files are all full.

Great poem, Neville. At least now you've gotten it off the floor and recorded it for posterity. I recently found some unfinished lyrics to a song I'd started back in the day when I had a garage band. I might finish it as a poem and post it.

I'll try to finish them soon. Happy Christmas to you and your family as well.
Oh, and Jake Randolph will be back right after the New Year.

Now that is excellent news about Jake. I’m hoping that my Rufus will be back soon. I’m going to print in a couple of days of the first one which on Drablr was called Skin Deep, but I discovered that someone else had a book of the same name and a movie, so I’ve changed it to Tear Away instead. Hope to get it on Amazon soon too. 😐

That's really cool. It's amazing how technology has evolved to the point where authors and musicians can now get their art out into the public square without having to bend over to some corporation.

Superb!!! and good luck with Amazon. It is a relatively easy process, I have helped friends format their books on Createspace for Amazon. You may also want to check Lulu.. the problem with Lulu is that their shipping adds too much cost to the book ,but I was told they pay better royalties.
