RIP Bernard Cribbins

Right said Fred,
got to face the music,
and just like that
Mr Perks’ eyes misted over
like a Sunday afternoon steamer
chuffing into the station
for the very last time.

Orinoco Womble
has put away childish things,
having long ago quietly morphed
into Uncle Bulgaria.

And everyone’s favourite uncle
has stepped out from his shed
in an everyday back garden
and soared off with the Doctor,
with a one way ticket
stamped ‘Forever’.
