First Letter Home To England

Mum, Ive got a lot to tell you.
Me and Joe have had a bust up.
This will be the last letter
with the post mark stamped N.Y.

Ive met a film producer.
Please dont laugh his name is Sheldon.
Hes what the people here all call
a real together guy.

He is off to California
and he wants me to go with him.
Oh, thanks for your last letter
I was thrilled to hear from you.

The pictures of Aunt Edna
are all absolutelylovely,
and incidentally Sheldons mum,
loves Mantovani too.

Mum, you must ignore the neighbors.
You cant stop Cassius barking.
Youll become a nervous wreck, love,
just by listening to them.

Sheldons got a house in Bel Air,
well, its really a pink mansion.
Its got electric gates and armed guards,
and he calls it La Boheme.

Sheldon has a lot of meetings.
Well, hes terribly ambitious.
Hes working on a musical bout
Rommel, as a boy.
