To a friend

MISSING

Where's Gerry the happy lad
From Darwen, Lancs?
MISSING in the snow
Holding up Korea's status quo

MISSING fifty or sixty
Years of love and sadness
Family, children, friends
Jokes, songs, modern trends

MISSING time distorted
Tales of derring-do from
Your old mates who attend
Reunions in the States
MISSING then now ‘PRESUMED'
In official jargonese but
No matter what the records
Say MISSING AND MISSED is
How you'll stay
