Repetition:

Do not go gentle into that good night
Dylan Thomas


Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Can someone make my simple wish come true?
Male biker seeks female for touring fun.
Do you live in North London? Is it you?


Gay vegetarian whose friends are few,
I'm into music, Shakespeare and the sun,
Can someone make my simple wish come true?


Executive in search of something new--
Perhaps bisexual woman, arty, young.
Do you live in North London?Is it you?


Successful, straight and solvent? I am too--
Attractive Jewish lady with a son.
Can someone make my wish come true?


I'm Libran, inexperienced and blue--
Need slim non-smoker, under twenty-one.
Do you live in North London? Is it you?


Please write (with photo) to Box 152,
Who knows where it may lead once we've begun?
Can someone make my simple wish come true?
Do you live in North London? Is it you?
