Unlikely Relationships

 

Emily Bronte and Nabokov

Tumbled out of doors,

Scrambling through snow,

 

While Collete became embroiled

In the life of Alfred Hitchcock,

Spilling unnoticed from a rear window.

 

Catherine Cookson found herself

Herself in a ditch

Hitched up with Rabbie Burns,

 

While Erica Jong was bound

To have cured her fear of flying,

Curled round Biggles till day returned

 

And the Library Service discovered

stripped and undercover,

Secrets scattered wide and broad,

 

The most unlikely sets of lovers

That afternoon one of their vans

Skidded off the Sandwick Road.
