Some music and conversations with Mrs Butterdish.

An evening of readings of new Christmas poetry by Gavin Kostick, conversations with Mrs Butterdish and some seasonal music to bring us to a festive mood.

Me: … Er… I have a request for you Mrs Butterdish.

Mrs Butterdish: Yes, Mr Gavin?

Me: … Christmas is coming …

Mrs Butterdish: It is.

Me: And the Abbey have asked me to read some seasonal poetry, arrange for some music and so on.

Mrs Butterdish: The house of Yeats. You must be pleased.

Me: … I am … but there’s a thing.

Mrs Butterdish: Is it that they really want Young Master Toastrack?

Me: Lord, no. Of course not.

Mrs Butterdish: So what is this thing?

Me: They’ve only agreed to do it if you would join me in conversation.

Mrs Butterdish:

Me:

Mrs Butterdish:

Me: Your thoughts, Mrs Butterdish?

Mrs Butterdish: Mr Gavin. Have you already agreed to this?

Me: Perhaps Mrs Butterdish – it is the house of Yeats.

Mrs Butterdish: We’ll see Mr Gavin, we’ll see.
