Farewell to Leonard Cohen
Sat 12 Nov 2016, 2:37 am
Friday Night at the Crown and the Crone
As the weekend starts, the regular crowd,
gather in the Crown and the Crone aloud,
but tonight the festivities are a bit softer
as they pay some homage to Suzanne's author;
singing "Hallelujah" the crowd raises a toast
to the gentleman who's chasing Marianne's ghost -
a silence descends over the Crown and the Crone
as the angels in heaven reclaimed one of their own.

Thanks for that fitting tribute, Terry.
