Doug thanks -I meant it to be about beating the twilight and extending the
day
Ps I have revised it a bit
TWILIGHT
he was
coming to
the twilight
of his long
and often
eventful life
but then
quick thinking
he craftily
switched on
the full
extra strong
floodlighting
and dallied long
in extra time
whilst awaiting
the referee's
final whistle
