[Homage
to Thomas Hood] No snow, no hail, no postcards in the mail. No sparkling
repartee, no jokes, no japes, no whoopee. No elevated talk. No overseas trips,
no Paris, no London, no New York. No fasting, no feasts, no hunger, at least. No
holiday, no big spend, no long weekend. No trains due to track work, no taxis
when you need one, no tram, no bus, no amount of fuss. No mention in dispatches,
no next drinks down the hatches. No phone, no reception, no line, no
connection. No time to think, no time to remember. No whatever.
November.
