money from turned out pockets
spent on a pot of tea
and perhaps a scone
laughter at the same foolish
things you think of when
you mishear the news
eating a well-burnt dinner
as if it were the best
on offer in rome
painting the grey life crimson
for the person you
keep beside you still

Love it - especially that
Love it - especially that second stanza. I well remember my ex and I looking askance at one another when James Naughtie on the Today programme introduced a certain Culture Secretary!
Succinctly and poignantly put. Had me nodding... but partly in sadness for missing those things now.
