Dunedin writer Victor resumes his Sunday odes to public figures. Today: Mike Hosking
The Hosky and Cindy Show
I want you on my show.
And then I do not.
I’ve fired you again.
You’ve had your shot.
You cancelled yourself.
You’re on the shelf.
But now you’re back on.
Until you are gone.
A shadow of regret
haunts my heart yet;
parting is sweet sorrow.
At least until tomorrow.
Victor Billot has previously been moved to write odes for such New Zealand luminaries as Christopher Luxon, Jami-Lee Ross and Garrick Tremain.
