Nigel Quivers

Brendan Hart

Nigel quivers in the cold
Sloshes through the slush
A dedicated postal gent is he

Nigel quivers next to Karen
Searching for the words
A suitor full of nerves is he

Nigel quivers at the football match
As the play "God Save the Queen"
A true-blue patriot is he

Nigel quivers at the sounds
Of anonymous bumps in the night
A confirmed coward is he

Nigel quivers through his life
Kind and gentle all his days
An asset to a quivering world is he
