NO MORE ROLLING

Keith Richards may be permanently brain damaged and never perform live again – after falling from a tree. Doctors fear the worse for the Rolling Stones guitarist who underwent a second brain operation last night following his dramatic 15ft fall from a coconut tree.

No more rolling, Keith?
It’s such a shame.
We’d always thought that drugs
would be the substance we could blame
but never once in forty years
did they seem to dim your flame.

No more rolling, Keith?
Has the Stone stopped in his tracks?
Will there be no more sticky fingers
tearing music from your axe?
If only you’d kept a firmer grip
when climbing coconut trees for snacks.
