Day TWENTY THREE
NUMBER SIX
Voices are difficult to disguise
accents even harder
Where do you come from
they ask me constantly
I know your voice
recognise your accent but
I can't place your face
You're not from around
these parts they say
when I order a cream tea
saffron cake or a pasty
The thing is nobody is
these days apart from a few
the chosen few that think
that anywhere past Exeter
or Bristol is up the line
No worries they say
when I mention the Senior Service
Proper job perfect that's ideal -
and the Players Navy Cut
cigarettes that I used to smoke
Those were the good times
coughing my guts out
upstairs on the Red Dragon
Back in the smog filled days
up the line at Number Six
Who are you they ask me
over and over again
