Dear Mervyn

Dear Mervyn I thought you were dead

wheelchair bound was surprised to see your figure
tall as an oak tree old mans jacket of beige and hat
there you stood in the glass posting an xmas card to us

hadn't seen you out and about with your sister and mum
dear Mervyn I thought you were dead your sister lamented
told me they told you they couldn't do anymore for you

so was relieved to hear you do that weird thing you do
you cough sneeze loudly simultaneously through the wall

so Dear Mervyn I am sorry I thought you were dead
