Pennycook
You weren’t always right
Though you always
Thought you were
Grumpy with a smile
Winding people up and
Pushing buttons
Loud shirts and
Trendy (sun)glasses
Always there with a pick
Me up, to give a hug
And rum
And while I have my memories,
And the time we spent
Together
I’ll miss your rants, your
Smile, your banter.
I wish I’d met you earlier
I wish I’d known you longer
And if you’re looking down
On us, despite what you
Believed
I just know that you’ll be
Shouting, ‘Get on with it
Don’t Grieve.’
