The Christmas Lunch ...

My mum was an ARP warden Jean said - 

She climbed onto a roof to put out incendiary bombs - 

I released a squeaking sausage of a balloon to fly over our heads - 

It was our Christmas Lunch - 

We linked arms to pull crackers and wore paper crowns - 

I'd made the usual joke in an e-mail earlier that Semi Colons was not a literary group - 

Reg said that he'd been in the the Home Guard - 

He'd protected a town hall in Kingston upon Thames - 

They were armed with axe handles and six rifles - 

I learned that Jocelyn, Queen of The Rex, had been married to a racing car driver - 

There's a lot that's left unexplained about T E Lawrence Paul said mysteriously - 

I drank an afternoon bumper of Merlot - 

We all of us were linked, we Christmas diners - 

We all had been marked by shining instruments - 

We all had counted the number of our days -
