Whistler no more

In memory of visits past

Whistler, Nocturne: Blue and Silver -Chelsea, 1871, Tate

I’d like to see the Whistler

I know you’d like it too

If you could come along with me

A great day out it would have been

But not for you this tempting treat

Your days of art and visits done

I miss you Dad is all I’ll say

From this your loving son
