When Loudons in a mood There's just nobody like him Seems he could spit regret and bile Ad infinitum Found one of his CDs At the back of the shelf Still had its cellophane jacket on A lot of dust it's repelled It's one of them My father left to me Without knowing Turned the case over in my hands Tiny aftershock Sweetly glowing Seems almost a shame To take its thin coat off But it won't feel the benefit When it's time to shuffle south.
