1984
In 1984
The world changed
Irrevocably
It became darker
More foreboding
Not in an Orwellian way
But the sun was cooler
The wind sharper
The future more uncertain
That was 1984 for me
Because in the space
Of just a few short weeks
Tommy and Eric died
TOMMY AND ERIC
Tommy Cooper
And Eric Morecambe
Were funny men
Not vulgar
Or foul mouthed
Not forced or contrived
Just naturally funny men
Who made you laugh
Just by walking on to the stage
In fact thinking about them
Has just made me smile
