| Title: Empty Bed |
| Category: POEM-DEATH |
| God, Bodie, I hate it when The Cow splits us. |
| You got any idea what it’s like |
| in this empty bed of ours? |
| It’s huge, Bodie, and the longer |
| you’re gone the farther |
| away the other side seems to be. |
| Lyin’ here tonight –had a hell of a day– |
| I got to thinkin’ what it would be like if…. |
| Aw, I know, don’t say it: |
| I think too much. |
| But, Christ Bodie, without you, |
| if I had to sleep in this bed –alone– |
| every night for the rest of my life? |
| Don’t think I’d last too long. |
| What if…. what if… |
| Sorry, mate, had a hell of a day. |
| Learned something though, didn’t I? |
| Can’t have it all. Nope. |
| Just when you think life’s perfect |
| you turn around and get slapped in the face. |
| Bed’s cold. |
| Been hugging your pillow; |
| still has that Bodie-smell. |
| Wish you were here to hold me, |
| tell me to stop being stupid. |
| Hate it when The Cow splits us; |
| I’m not there to watch your back– |
| it’s a perfect Bodie-target. |
| We’re supposed to be together Bodie! |
| I can’t be here, alone, in this bed. |
| Big, cold —empty— bed. |
| I know, you hate it when I get this way. |
| God, Bodie, I had a hell of a day. |
| Wasn’t there—couldn’t watch; |
| if I did, then it would be real. |
| Bodie? |
| I think– |
| They buried you today. |

| Title: Monkey Suits with Satin and Lace-D |
| Category: DEATH |
| Plot summary (very short pieces are sometimes copied here in their entirety): This is the summary of the first part, common to both this and the other version. D asks B to marry him, but B jokes and laughs about it, since it is impossible. D is upset, as he wants to be a proper couple outwards as well, like anyone else. B apologizes and tries to cheer him up. They get back home (it’s Xmas’ Eve), and B asks to be left at Marks&Spencer’s as he need Òshaving cream.” D goes for presents too, and when he gets back home he finds B already there. They have a romantic evening, D gives B his present of a sheepskin for the bed, and B gives D his present: a gold wedding band with an emerald! Happily ever after. From here on, the story changes: a sad Cowley knocks at the door, to see how D is doing. D happily pours 3 glasses of malt and calls B from the other room. Gently, Cowley prods D, and then has to jog his memory: B died that same afternoon, run over by a skidding car, in front of D, going to M&S. D denies it, and looks for B everywhere but he cant find it. Finally, triumphantly, he shows C the wedding ring; but as C pours him more malt, D sees the credit card receipt, signed by him, Raymond Doyle. He shoots himself. |

| Title: Twas the Night Before Christmas |
| Category: SONG |
| Sung to the tune of: “Twas the Night, etc” |
| |
| Twas the night before Christmas and all through the streets, |
| Not a creature was stirring, not even a thief! |
| The trousers were flung on the floor without care |
| followed by sweater and shirt and -oh- bedsprings beware! |
| The sweaty hot lads finally snuggled down deep in their bed, |
| with visions of KY and pickles -so sweet- in their heads. |
| |
| Young Betty in her kerchief, and Cowley in his cap, |
| had just settled down for a long -yeah, right- nap. |
| When out in the skys sirens made such a clatter, |
| Bodie, Doyle, and Cowley all rose…with a splatter. |
| Poor Betty was heard to exclaim, |
| as she rinsed off in the shower… |
| One at a time is okay…but all three -too much power! |
