In Memory of Oliver Postgate (12.04.1925 - 08.12.2008.) - Wonderwords Personalised Poems

I’m writing this last sad epistle
To the lonely sound of a Swanee Whistle…
As a boat, propelled by musical bars,
Sails gently off, towards the stars
And knitted mourners sadly group
Around a well of cooling soup…
As on his way, our hero quickens
Home to roost
With the Iron Chicken…
