WE STAYED IN A FLAT…
Called by the sea
near a Place named Melbourne, down under
the Burgh and the Seabird bluff
where the Firth furls forth and the Firth
faces north to its south-facing shore
in a Berwick north of Berwick
by an islet that May and a rock
of Bass in a shoal of isles
where the Links are linked
by Quality Street
and the hill is Law.

HIGH TIMES – By John Shaw
High tides predicted
High times expected
High times ensued
Eddi was good
Phil was brill
But Maggie was
My darling
– And Pauline left
me breathless not
‘shameless’

Some on-stage dying
The good and the bad
The ugly and sad
The funny and tragic
Some crap and some magic
The festival fringe
the wild late night binge
3 weeks of the year
God help us – Its here
