I went out riding
and ended up writing
as often happens to me

and my thoughts
turned to broadcaster Ross Stevens
in his torrential days

and I pondered
the less than common
mutuality of an admiration

for both a man
and the quality of his work
I wanted to say

I see him as a good man
a clever man
in the true and best

sense of the word
and that now I add
a brave man to that list

and hope that one day
when my day comes
I shall be able to look

in the tell-all mirror
and not have to pray
that I can say the same
