I held a party and nobody came
Strangely I was upset
Poured out a drink and then Birkworth approached saying
“Have no regrets. Maybe your gentle friends had some delay.
Don’t try to take on the world”

Made up my bed and decided to sleep
Dreaming I was awake
Maybe I drank an excess of my drink
Nice clan, cordial crowd
Birkworth suggested we sleep through the night
I never knew him so well

Ah…..
