Ode to Ron
by Georgie
Whilst decorating the computer room this summer, I was obliged to remove my 'Ron Gallery' from the walls, and, as the painting work went ahead, my Ron pics found a temporary home on the dining room table.

As time went on, I began to develop a mysterious syndrome, akin to that demonstrated by Pavlov's Dogs...i.e. whenever I saw a  picture of Ron, I thought of food (and consequently, whenever I saw a picture of Ron I started to salivate...I know, I know...what's new?)

Such was the intensity of feeling associated with this affliction, I was moved to express myself poetically, and so, with tongue firmly in cheek (and it sure is hard to chew that way), I offer up my gastronomic eulogy to Mr Harper:
An ode inspired by Ronald, a magnetic kind of guy
Whom Georgie fell in love with, o'er a plate of Shepherd's Pie


I love you in the morning, you're great for Heaven's sakes
I love you with my buttered toast and with my whole Bran Flakes

Oh, my sweetest darlin', my arms for you are achin'
Allow me to admire you, while I eat my eggs and bacon

As I drink my tea, I look at you, and think that I'm in heaven
You go so well with cookies and a cuppa at eleven

I gaze upon your dimpled cheeks, like a baby's bum newborn
As I eat my lunchtime sandwiches, made with that stuff from Quorn

I love your neck, your shoulders, your chest, your hips, your knees
I am welling with emotion, as I eat my bread and cheese

You look so lovely, sweetie, you really are a beaut
Come closer; I can study as I nibble on my fruit

I love you so completely, I am feeling cock-a-hoop
I even love you as I slurp my minestrone soup

You make me go a-tingle, you make me shake and shiver
You make me choke upon my veg, and cough upon fried liver

I love it when you smile at me, Ronaldo, please don't stop
I love to see those luscious lips, as I eat my lamb chop

That strong and handsome jawline, that heroic clefted chin
Oh, Lordy, please excuse me whilst I pour myself a gin

Your Virdon hair flows freely; it looks wonderful, of course
It looks just like spaghetti, in a Carbonarra sauce

My sweetheart, I am dreaming of those red and fulsome lips
They remind me of the ketchup that I squirt upon my chips

Your good looks are enchanting, what more could one gal wish
With brains and charm to compliment, like tartare sauce with fish

And after dinner, sweetheart, of your handsome face I dream
I could eat you up like apple pie, all covered in whipped cream

I love you, precious baby, I couldn't lie for toffee
I love you when I'm pouring out my after-dinner coffee

Your hazel eyes are beautiful, of blue there's just a hint
I'm drowning in them as I suck my after-dinner mint


You're so delicious, sweet one, you're simply the divine
Accompaniment for supper, washed down with a glass of wine

And at bedtime, what is better, at least I'd dare to think
Than toasting you 'goodnight', Ron, with a warming chocolate drink

The end
