With your recent gadding about you’d concede
that the least you’d have ever needed to recall
would be second degree burns from Singapore
noodles; sure you’ll have a scald proving it was
Changi’s bowl of steaming hot soup rather than
an exotic radiation burn, near miss Buk missile
or disingenuous Scandinavian excursion under
a solar eclipse that went disagreeably awry
in one piece and ready to splice the mainbrace
with your effervescent brand of humour; thank
goodness for that - the reality is this part of the
Planet’s a far nicer place when you’re in it, not
to say Stockholm isn’t, but you were missed …
