Artwork Description:

Downton Abbey’s going off the air. I’m not through yet, it’s just not fair. Nothing before that show ever had That kind of class, that degree of flair. Life without my weekly Downton Is too sad and inordinately scary. What will I do without my frequent fix Of the elegantly snarky Lady Mary And will the feckless Mister Barrow Ever develop a true human soul I am sure this handsome actor fellow Will never again get such a meaty role. And the Dowager Duchess herself, She is not someone easily done with. She is, after all, tradition incarnate, And under all that, she’s Maggie Smith. Bates and his Anna filled my heart With alternating sorrow and great joy Almost as much as a lady of nobility Marrying the handsome chauffer boy. Dresses and hair lengths shortened And nobility began to get real jobs. All this was before flared up And turned starving folks into a mob. I never missed that we were seeing The transition from ‘la belle epoque’. That time was running out for that In the worlds ever-changing clock. It was a yesterday we never knew We of the age of electric equality. We got to look inside and see it In all its grandly overdressed reality. I had begun to recognize artwork, in Lovely strolls through baronial halls And huge family meals at table. I am sorry that it is over for us all.
