I waited for an age at St Pancras
Outside the Eurostar arrivals door
Then finally Pearl, in a yellow dress
Was visible, waving, glad I was there
To help with the bags. We went to my car
And drove around Camden Town for a while
Because I went the wrong way. But, this star
Soon found the A1 again. Ate a pile
Of food at London Gateway, and we smiled
And chatted there for what seemed like ages
Catching up, talking about art, before
We drove up the M1 and M6, mile
After mile in the rain. Bacharach plays
‘Do You know the Way to San Manchester?’
