one liked books

the other liked to cook

they both collected butterflies

and sold them at the market

the ethereal greek goddess look

did not work

 they were both well past it

I've Got a Little List - The Mikado - Gilbert and Sullivan

 

 

 i've got a lot of little lists 

a lot of to do lists

 dating back decades in never used handbags and old wallets 

wedged between books

 plastered all over the fridge and cupboard doors

 merging into each other like a giant cryptic puzzle

 

 busy busy from dawn till dusk 

days fly by

i'm not sure how   many of the to do tasks get done

 sometimes i wonder how i have survived this long

bogged down in a mire of administrivia

 we sometimes used to share a tipple of sherry downstairs 

with Mrs Parkes our landlady on a friday night

 she was the proud president of the paddington geranium society

 the world seemed kinder back then

you were kinder back then too

wait at the lights

always together

and very polite

he salivates slightly

at the sight of the ducks

would make a nice meal

oh

 you see kiddies

this is what happens

when you do drugs


you think your fishnet stockings

are a safety net for your

tightrope act
