So deep in love were we that day
Made up our minds to move away
From lives we could no longer live
Apart, with those who’d not forgive
Her son, for one, with spite and scorn
Had cursed the day that I was born
Like Oedipus of Grecian fame
He laid upon me all the blame
The rival for his mother’s love
(That goddess from the realms above)
Who Fate forever did entwine
With me, her heart, so she was mine!
My offspring and my mother too
Demanded: “what is wrong with you?
Whose siren spell sent you insane?”
I answered with one word: “Lorraine.”
But they did fail to feel the force
And not until I did divorce
The creature that had spat them out
Did sons of mine all cease to shout
Then from our love nest on the hill
We welcomed those with no ill-will
Supporters of ‘Romance Regime’
A tried and tested true love team!
Consisting of my daughters, two.
And friends, who when the storm was through
Were there, as we walked down the aisle
To see and share with us our smile
So deep in love were we that day
Since ’72 had been that way
Those years apart they’d stole like brutes
It bore for them some bitter fruits
Our ‘selfish’ love they said had hurt
Torn them apart like shredded shirt
We say, of pain, that we produced:
"Your Chickens Have Come Home to Roost!"
