Can it be true that the BFS is no longer with us?
Ode to the BFS
You match me in paleness, the blue of my eyes,
You hold me, enfold me, caressing my thighs,
By you I am comforted, safe and secure,
You save me from demons, no fear anymore.
My constant companion wherever I roam
Be it over the ocean or nearer to home.
You have your own place in the hearts of the few
who acknowledge the significance that I give you.
I've loved you so long that you're part of me now,
I'll never discard you, I'll honour this vow.
My magical talisman, fame-bringer, friend,
Your story's a legend that never will end.
----------------------------------------------------------------
OK, I've outgrown you in more ways than one,
Perhaps you're now dusters or completely gone.
I no longer need you, the world knows my name,
But you'll be immortal, you've JMB fame.
Dear Blue Flowery Shirt, so sad now you're gone,
Just realised, they're not flowers, it's leaves you had on!
