Diane and Joof had been at the railway station

They always went there on Tuesdays and Thursdays

To watch the Blue Streamlined Trains pass at king speed

Later they would bathe together in my bath as I prepared lunch

Diane and Joof are my oldest friends and we live together

I am in love with a girl called Carrow who has cornflower eyes

And she and I travel far on the violet buses south

But we do not bathe on our return

As we prefer to play chess

Quite naked on the rug
