My father knew him well <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were born only months apart <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And died on the same day <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their only difference was that my father <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Came from a very privileged background <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whereas William was street born a bred <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He only ever received one educational certificate <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which reflected his poverty <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But he had a brilliant mind <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And was a paid up member <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of the non-U intelligentsia <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although I stated that William Watson died <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the same day as my father <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is not completely true <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I know the day when my beloved father died <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whereas William was officially reported missing <\/p>\n\n\n\n
From his flat in Wells on the that day <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And has not been seen since<\/p>\n\n\n\n
