-As my dear old mum would say.

+My dear old mum used to tell me <br />
+“Son, {{maxim|every dog has its day}}.” <br />
+Now in dog years, I am <strike>{{font colour|red|350}}</strike><u>{{font colour|blue|357}}</u> years old, <br />
+but I still quietly sit on my mat <br />
+& wonder when it will come <br />
+& what it will be like <br />
+& as the shadows grow long <br />
+& the darkness draws in <br />
+You see, I have this sinking feeling <br />
+that it’s been and gone —<br />
+I wasn’t paying attention <br />
+& I missed it. <br />
-years old, in dog years, and STILL WAITING.
+I put my head between my paws <br />
+& sleep a little more <br />
+& dream of dear old mum. <br />

+“There’s time, son, there’s time.” <br />
+That's what she’d say <br />
+& she’d ruffle between my ears <br />
+“There’s [[Peasgood nonsuch|none such]] as good as you”. <br>
+& I’d lie back down <br>
+Beneath [[Peasgood nonsuch|the old apple tree]] <br>
+& dream the day away.
