The allure of fame when you are
The Handsomest Young Man in England.
The allure of desire
When you are adored by
Both men and women.
What hope does Rupert have
When, apart from his charm, his only skills
Appear to be hindsight, regret and a yearning
To find his way home?
All of which are observed,
Noted and narrated by Eddie.
Who, even when calling upon
His own very special skills,
Still fails to stop the inevitable.
