    Heroic Failure on the 13th of November

    Published: 9:11 PM GMT, Monday, 23 November 2009

    Had you down for Heroic Failure on the 13th of November
    Could you oblige?
    RSVP to me
    We'll have tiffin on the lawn, eat small tiger for tea
    Measure nose to tail
    Will be slightly longer than the other one you see?
    Tasty tiger don't eat me no more than necessary

    Yeah, you said you'd be there one time I sighed
    All my fault
    Reciprocate the failure
    Send card embossed with lillies
    No sympathy
    And a short doggerel by Minor Lakeland Poet

    Tiffin on the lawn
    Cucumber sandwiches

    Do come to tea
    Don't confuse me with specifics
    Or lectures on entropy
    I'll be your friend for now
    And later sigh in memory

    Do come to tea
