Googling Earth

I happened to Google Earth;
out of the blue
for some vague reason
I wondered
if the park bench was still there.

You know what, it was

The spot where you suggested…

and I said yes.

I was wearing that dress,
you know, the red one.
I blame that red dress
for the mess I’ve made of my life.

If it hadn’t have been for that
damn rag!

You wouldn’t have…

and I wouldn’t…

How I hate that ruddy dress!

And that tune!
Lady in Red!
You’d croon, every chance you got
and we’d dance.

How I hate that damn silly song!

And Spring bank holiday
It reminds me of a park bench,
a red dress, dark brown eyes,
fly away raven hair
and a green girl who said yes.

How I hate Spring Bank Holiday!
