On Adrian Mitchell's Answerphone
On Adrian Mitchell's answerphone -
bells ring,
birds sing,
saxophones
swing!
On Adrian Mitchell's answerphone -
Blake works a miracle,
Big Ben sounds hysterical,
the world waxes lyrical!
On Adrian Mitchell's answerphone -
the passwords sigh,
the terrorists cry,
the children fly!
On Adrian Mitchell's answerphone -
leave plenty of love -
after the tone!

Dear Keith,
I hope you don't mind but I have put your Adrian Mitchell tribute poem on my Facebook page - it's just beautiful.
I've put a link to your Write Out page there too.
Thank you,
Joe Galliano
