Rondeau Redouble for 2012
Time’s like a beating heart or blinking eye
Minutes become weeks, seconds become days
Hearts take a quantum leap the way time flies
Warm rays of sun amidst cool falling rain
Lets dig and delve through 2012 today
Reflect on this great year be filled with pride
As games and flames and names slow fade away
Time’s like a beating heart or blinking eye
See Nicola and Jess beam golden smiles
Watch Weir & Wiggins winning wheeling ways
Mo in slow motion bring the past alive
Minutes become weeks, seconds become days
The Arab spring Obama and Plebgate
Betty, Bond and Felix fell from the sky
Slow resurrections down on white hart lane
Hearts take a quantum leap the way time flies
Jubilee Celebrations drenched with pride
60 years 24 hours a day
The toughest job but on this woman strives
Warm rays of sun amidst cool falling rain
Less we forget lost loved ones passing lives
Those who toil to keep the innocent safe
For those who work through tragedy and smile
They are the pulse that keeps this nation great
Like a beating heart

Great seeing you perform this today. I really enjoyed it,
very poignant for me at this cusp between 2 years! Thanks.
Saw and heard you this morning on BBC Breakfast – had just written my own reflections on 2012 (not in rhyme!) and thought your poem was amazing. V. humble of you to say it’s your job – how great to have a job you enjoy.
