“LONELY OLD LADY
(Ian M. Bruce)
She’s a lonely old lady
She sits by her fire
Scorching her legs as the flames dance higher.
Reflections in specs of a flickering screen.
Her favourite programme again is unseen.
She’s been snoozing.
MmmH! Snoozing.
But has she been sleeping for one hour or two?
She fumbles from sleep.
She finds little to do.
But glance at the phone which infrequently rings.
Hum unwritten songs
She frequently sings
La la la la.
La la la lonely
She’s lonely
La la la lonely.
Then speakin’ out loud she says
“Don’t be so lazy!“
Mobility isn’t so easy these days.
She shuffles her way past last month’s mag.
To a wintry kitchen and a one cup teabag.
She’s lonely
La la la lonely. Lonely.
La la la lonely.
There’s an old shoe box
And it’s tied round with string.
Creased black and whites.
She got Brownies within.
But the prized Polaroids, they adorn the piano.
Grandchildren’s silent “Hello!“
Grandchildren’s silent “Hello!“
All lights out but one on the bedside table.
No more late nights.
She’s no longer able.
Just one more day put to memory’s store.
She lies there wondering “How many more?“
She’s lonely
La la la lonely.
Her mind’s eye sees the shoebox untied.
Prized Polaroids join the Brownies inside.
The faces drift past her bed as they go.
Grandchildren’s last cheerio.
Grandchildren’s last cheerio
from The Naked Truth Vol 2, released July 1, 2004
