2164 - Back on track

I'm back on track - tonight, did comedy
Upstairs at the Ape & Apple, oh yes
This time of year it's a bit quiet, maybe
So the audiences are smaller, with less
Top-rate comics around also, the best
Of them up at the Edinburgh Fringe
This morning as I was off work, read rest
Of my counter-culture book. It was strange
To finish it at last. John Clare's free range
Country and madness poems begun - he
Ended in an asylum, seventy plus
When he died. Although judged as quite deranged
He has still left a timeless legacy
The ambition of many men, I guess

Wed 8 August
