The Pen Strikes Back! The Handwritten Poem Thread.
The Dutch version
TWSBI pen 1.1 oblique
Lagoon blue Diamine ink
Standard A5 student paper
The English version
The restored Scheaffer pen unknown nib but oblique in any case
Florida Blue Diamine ink
Standard A5 student paper, the paper i’ve been using all of my life
Perhaps needless to say that it’s biographical, not auto biographical!
The English version, loosely based on the Dutch one.
In both versions, after the chorus, it’s up to the public to decide:
- is he married
- is she married
- are they both married to each other
- are they both married but not to each other
- or is she making up a story
Most votes will win. And you’ll have 5 songs prepared to fit the mood.
It’s my intention to record the English version and post it in DUP.
Enjoy!
Kind regards, Gus

Half/half I thought/hoped that the DUP dying was a bit of poetic licence on your part, but now I dug in I see you’re right.
What was it that Jack Bruce sung?
Don’t know what to do.

I’m not glad. I’m not glad.
Not glad.
Not glad.
Not glad.
I know: Falsification of history but true.
Yours is a beautiful way to say goodbye.
