Yesterday, two kids died mysteriously
On a sunny holiday isle near Greece.
Reporters swarm and jostle on TV
To bring us this ghoulish news. Rest in peace?
The journos queue up at the hotel gate,
Or scan the family home for signs of life
In darkening Wakefield. Now back to…No…wait!
Here comes someone. It could be the ex-wife
And mother of those kids, who stayed behind
While Dad and his new partner took them off,
Never to return. The news channels find
And broadcast pictures of the kids, and of
Their Dad, so sick, who lies in hospital.
News-reader smiles. And now, onto football…
