The car rolls by on a cloud of time Guarded by friends of the feathered kind. Wings hold, folding in an embrace, Like Time, Space and Matter holding Us in place. The man plods - is it Percy V Bradshaw His voice now distant, but still sure. “You too can learn to draw And earn pounds £££’s!” And so Ralph did, paper and pen, Begin and the line will bend To the artist’s will, And it does, still.
