Granddaughters, sisters, nephews and nieces will gather in a village hall -
Aunts will arrive with their posses of daughters -
My uncle George will stare amazed at his Bellini -
Jane and Den will keep an eye on my dad -
I bet your dad falls over and we have to cancel Anne said -
But it was me who woke up with a sore throat this morning -
I've been coughing like a consumptive in Grub Street -
An aspirin, not a brimmer, has been my only friend -
Anne's making potato salad in the kitchen -
I've written some words -
They're not the words that one day I'll speak -
On that day the sky will be different -
