The exactitude makes the poem even more melancholy. We can stand with him, in the rain and wish for a miracle! I do think your Lion poem one of the most tender pieces of writing I have ever read. I had come back from visiting someone who rescues greyhounds and had been surrounded by all these old and young creatures so pleased to still be here. Many thanks for your comment.

It isn't just anywhere on the Wall; it's the Housesteads fort, where the garrison from Tungria was located. Bleak spot. But clearly Auden knew a bit about the place and may well have been there.

Video Games lyrics

Swingin in the back yard
Pull up in your fast car
Whistlin my name

Open up a beer and
Say get over here
And play a video game

I’m in his favorite sun dress
Watchin me get undressed
Take my body down town

I say ‘You da bestest’
Lean in for a big kiss
Put his favorite perfume on
Go play a video game

It’s you, it’s you, it’s all for you
Everything I do
Tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It’s better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living
If somebody is loving you
Baby now you do

Singing in the old bar
Swinging with the old stars
Living for the fame
Kissing in the blue dark
Playing pool and wild darts
Video games

He holds me in his big arms
He’s drunk and I am seein’ stars
This is all I think of

Watchin all our friends fall
Leanin out of old cars
This is my idea of fun
Playing video games

It’s you, it’s you, it’s all for you
Everything I do
Tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth with you
Tell me all the things you wanna do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It’s better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living
If somebody is loving you
Baby now you do

(Now you do)

It’s you, it’s you, it’s all for you
Everything I do
Tell you all the time
Heaven is a place on earth wit’ you
Tell me all the things you wanna do do
I heard that you like the bad girls
Honey, is that true?
It’s better than I ever even knew
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living
If somebody is loving you
Maybe now you do

Maybe now you do

(Now you do)
