A Quote from that great English comedienne, actress, singer and songwriter, screenwriter, producer and director, Victoria Wood, who sadly passed away in 2016 at the age of 63 . . .
“In India, if a man dies, the widow flings herself onto the funeral pyre; if a man dies in this country, the woman just drags herself into the kitchen and says, ‘Seventy-two baps, Connie, you slice, I’ll spread’ “
From: ‘Great British Wit’ by Rosemary Jarski (Ebury Press 2009)
Pull the stops out
He is gone;
Start a new life,
Don’t dwell upon
What once was quick,
It now is dead,
Life starts afresh;
He always said,
“When I am gone
Do not be sad,
Start a new life
And be glad.
Get out the glad rags,
Have a party,
You’ll be fine now,
Hale and hearty.
Ready to start
A brand new life,
A brand new woman,
An experienced wife.
Time to sparkle,
Forget the past;
Your Prince awaits you,
Free at last.
For when I’m safely
In my box,
No need then
To stop all the clocks.”
