No More Sid 1971.

They said that Sid 

had died in the night. 

I would miss the old boy 

and his gentle manners 

and him singing 

the Red Flag 

before lying down to sleep 

or in his weekly bath. 

Someone else 

will have his bed 

and room now 

and all that 

will be left of him 

is his memory in my head 

and he lying 

beneath some earth 

among the dead.
