Though thankless the work of a sub-editor be,

Full one score years plus six at the FT,

Yet through those years I've long admired

The pithy insights, crisp and inspired

Of Philip Stephens, a political sage

And commentator on our sorry age.

But as politics goes from bad to worse,

Phil Stephens turns his hand to verse,

And uplift do his words provide —

As politicians he continues to chide.

thanks Philip! And since you mention writing another book, here's a shameless plug for my *DEBUT NOVEL* a tale of intrigue and covert love in post-Soviet 1990s Russia!
