Pick of the Jocks

You hung up your headphones 

for the final time,

You left us all much too soon

at only 69.


You departed afternoons

and we went through the Mills*,

But that was just

a short-wave farewell

as you shared your slushy love songs

with us still.


You're joining Terry, Paul and Fluff,

Who we loved on Radio 2,

Now heaven's blessed listeners

are Seriously lucky to have you.

* I actually like listening to Scott Mills too, but I'm not one to pass up a good pun!
