I thought this was right for this time of year. The Parting of the Three.



Let me tell you about the three

Though it’s quite a sad and lonely story

Mother, Father and a young son

A happy family, as the story’s begun



The three went out one evening

They went for a quiet little drive

But now one is a-grieving

The only one left alive



The reason that they didn’t last

Wasn’t that they drove too fast

And don’t blame fate for being unkind

To the one that’s left behind



The mother was a nurse so kind

Long hours - Poor pay - She didn’t mind

But now we look around to find

The one that’s left behind



Think then of the little boy

Growing up with lovely toys

But one selfish move did destroy

This parent’s little bundle of joy



The man said “I’ll go for a pint”

But then decided to stay all night

By half-past ten he’d had a few

Do you know what he then did do?



He got in his car to drive himself home

You know what’s coming in this sad tome

He met the three coming the other way

Couldn’t drive so straight, so the three did pay



Can anybody tell me why

Two of the three had to die?

Can someone please explain why

One was left to sit and cry?



So weep for the mother

Now departed

Let them flow

Don’t be hard-hearted



And weep for the boy

Now gone to heaven

Finished so soon

He’ll never see seven

But if you wish to be truly kind

You’ll weep for the one left behind

For while they’ve left for life’s next stage

He now is headed for a lonely old age.
