THE WONDER BOOK OF MARVELS

 

Dear Ethel, thank you for

the Wonder Book of Marvels.

I like old books and photographs

of what people thought was marvellous.

Mum tells me it most probably

belonged to your son David

as the pictures are in monochrome

and marvels have changed a lot

since David was a child.

Mum tells me he travelled

to see the earth’s wonders

but fell to his death

from a Croydon balcony.

 

Mum says David had an eventful life

that would have been  recorded

in technicolour if he had lived,

not black and white.

With best wishes

Tom
