I drove Bobbie down to university With a Rover bursting at the seams We brunched in the halls of res canteen Then I got on my way Waving me goodbye from the steps of her building She shrinks in two, the shudders of the revue Tears begin to fall on the outskirts of Leeds I am missing her already I stopped for a coffee at Scotch Corner I called to see if she was doing okay She gently laughed at my foolishness "Don't worry" Watching match of the day that night I was bereft The house seemed to hold its breath I went out to smoke in the garden There was a hedgehog drinking from the pond I felt happy watching it make its way Into the rhubarb, through the dewy blades I must have drifted off with the opening credits Of the fog and had the most disturbing dream We were running through the maze Away from the drooling Minotaur The dawn arrives, rosy on the Roman blind Just before the monster can devour us I quickly grab a shower And head to five-a-side
