Haiku to Mrs Slocombe

by Katanasenpai

A haiku dedicated to the memory of Mrs. Betty Slocombe or Mollie Sugden from the show, "Are You Being Served?". I wrote this shortly after her death. I do know that the two lines in quotes don't quite work, please excuse me for this."

Tribute to Mrs. Slocombe

Dear Mrs. Slocombe

We will never forget you

We will struggle on

Though we are weak as water

You were your hero

Powerful, funny woman

With your coloured hair

Please remember we love you

Even knowing that

Axelby will be alone

And your pussy lost

You are now free forever.

We will miss you so.

No more drinking at the pubs,

Picking up young men,

Wearing outrageous costumes

We'd do anything

To hear you say once again,

"It'll ride up with wear…

I'm unanimous in this…"

Rest in peace Betty,

Queen of Double Entendre.

Goodbye, we love you.
