An island I built, to hold myself,
A lofty height, a dusty shelf.
I travel light, across the rainy planes, the birds at my back.
A lonley road, across the rainy planes, a care-worn track.
A chill and misty morning dew,
Contains our crowd, the lingering few.
We'll sit on sodden flagstones here,
A smouldering stick, the source of cheer.
Our respective ladies, in daydreams lay.
They're awful busy, and cannot stay.
Tar-stained lungs recite our woes,
The lonely path, that we three chose.
"Let them fear awhile" I grumble,
"They shant be watching *our* spirits tumble!"
My companions nod, we slow our pace.
"Lets make a pact, a strong, brave face"
Their eyes flit across our forms, as we descend.
Their contempt plain, they shant pretend.
A cardboard mask, tear under cover.
Secrecy's our silent lover.
