Ted took off
Propelled up up up and
away

He left Jean making loose leaf tea
A garden of neat lawns
Vibrant roses
A bottle hidden in a cupboard
A perfectly parked car

He and his boys were once asked
To turn their backs, avert their eyes
While atomic bombs were tested

Jean sold ice creams
At the pictures

Ted took her dancing
They never stopped
