Old Bill

•Old Bill died today

•He was a grumpy old sod said Mrs. Grey.

•Fool thought me,

•For you do not know what memory is

•

•He was a decorated soldier who,

•Courted beautiful women

•Argued with royalty

•And dined with the Aga khan

He loved fast cars and casinos

.

•And his money cheated him.

•And finally time cheated him

•

•All gone now,

•Just silence echoed by a distant memory,

•Interrupted by Coronation Street, and East Enders

•Is this the legacy of modern Life.

•

•For Bill, all that is left is the shell

•And now that has gone.

•

•Yes he was a grumpy old man

•But Modern life too will be cheated by time

.And what memories will it leave

•And what will people say about you Mrs. Grey
