Analysis and comments on The Last Laugh by John Betjeman

Comment 1 of 1, added on August 15th, 2006 at 7:47 AM.

Now as I see the remains of my once"bon viveur" father.
This very morning I saw in the distance an old friend, crooked and old with a stick clinging to the arm of his once beautiful wife, still charming her and making her laugh, I know what this poem should mean to us all as we age

Mike Thompson from United Kingdom
