I have a friend
Who lives in St Ives
She is an artist
Who likes to sculpt
A number of her works
Litter my garden
Mostly nudes
And the occasional cat
She is more famous
For her colourful abstracts
But her figurative paintings
Are much admired
I would have liked
To have been an artist
But I have no real talent
So I write detective novels
Which sell very well
My most popular character
Is Inspector Robert Honey
Who is also an artist
And when not solving crimes
Lives with his beautiful sister
Jain Roberta
In a small rural cottage
Near Lamorna Cove
