Fresher's Ball

I drove Bobbie down to university
 With a Rover bursting at the seams
 We brunched in the halls of res canteen
 Then I got on my way
 Waving me goodbye from the steps of her building
 She shrinks in two, the shudders of the revue
 Tears begin to fall on the outskirts of Leeds
 I am missing her already
 I stopped for a coffee at Scotch Corner
 I called to see if she was doing okay
 She gently laughed at my foolishness
 "Don't worry"
 Watching match of the day that night I was bereft
 The house seemed to hold its breath
 I went out to smoke in the garden
 There was a hedgehog drinking from the pond
 I felt happy watching it make its way
 Into the rhubarb, through the dewy blades
 I must have drifted off with the opening credits
 Of the fog and had the most disturbing dream
 We were running through the maze
 Away from the drooling Minotaur
 The dawn arrives, rosy on the Roman blind
 Just before the monster can devour us
 I quickly grab a shower
 And head to five-a-side
