Prompt 24 June 24 Propose to your favourite actor/actress by Santosh Bakaya

Dear Gerard,

When I meet you very soon in heaven

You will still be a young swashbuckled star

I’m but an old hag

But I still remember 

The thrill of seeing you

In Fanfan, the tulip

Stayed with me to this day.

So what are we to do?

I invite you for a night 

Of heavenly conversation 

Around a table of heavenly delights

Reminiscing about theatre and films.

I have written a few plays

I’ll bring the manuscripts 

You may be interested to put them on

Eternity is such a long time.

Unfortunately it’s out of my control 

I can’t be definite about the date

It will be a case of having to confirm.

Leave a blank in your diary

Looking forward to rave all night!

See you soon
