They turned out the light ...

We parked near The Miramar on The Overcliffe -

December light fell on the gentle facade -

 My mum and dad had stayed there - 

They'd left their chintzy room to gaze at the sea - 

They were still nimble then - 

They'd explored the salty town after their full English - 

I thought of them then - 

How they'd had sherry in the lounge - 

Turned out the light when it was dark -
