the Trumpton man
now lost in time
hopelessly
regrettably
fading too quickly
moving too slowly
now lost in time in Trumpton

Scotty Moore - d. June 28th 2016

without you;
shoes were not blue,
the jailhouse was cold,
we played no Creole.
There was rock,
but no roll.

You blew in, blew, blew out,
swallowed a soulfull of air,
breathed it out as funk
and stacks of unlickable licks.

Looks like it's too late
this time for lil ol' me.
Come now, fiendish death;
reveal your hooded claw.

Muhammad Ali - d. June 4th 2016
Oh, you pretty thing!
Show us one more time
the thunder in your hands,
the lightning in your feet,
the defiance on your lips,
the poetry of victory.

Dave Swarbrick - d. June 3rd 2016
Who knows
where the time went?
No-one here can tell.
The fiddle goes back
into its case;
farewell, farewell.
