Kelsey Bears - Dan Bull

I got your cards that you bought me, ignored them

Because I thought calling would cause me a boredom

And of course I’m ashamed to admit

That every birthday wished me further away

From your midst 'til I couldn’t face taking the risk

I guess I lost my faith a little bit

But then I realised a fundamental basic

More than any other you encouraged me to be creative

So it might quite belated, but I love you, Margaret and David

You were with me in my first days

But then I shut myself away during the worst days

A half-baked reason why I’m worth cake

But now evelen star birthday is part of my wordplay

And you bought me a calligraphy set

I’m ashamed to say I haven’t done calligraphy yet

I was a little perplexed and treated with neglect

And yet now I make my living fiddling with text

Some of your gifts still bring back images

The little set of carve farmyard miniatures

The tree was my favourite piece

And it still is when I play with my niece

So yeah, I’ve done myself a favour at least

Now I’m back on the rails and I’m taming the beast

In a similar way to how my birthday cake did

It’s time for you two to be celebrated

So it might be quit belated, but I love you, Margaret and David

Photography was obviously a hobby each of you wanted me to do

I never got into it properly

But now I love it, kind of like a kid with broccoli

My tastes took time to develop in the dark room

And now I can’t do without it, honestly

You offered an option and I made you feel you’d been forgotten

Now the season’s hot and Evesham’s lost

Some leaves and blossoms but let’s speak a little

Let’s speak a little more often
