one dove in my cherry tree–
not turtle, nor pear.

Christmas Rush

Buzzing round today;
my dead father would have said,
“like a blue-arsed fly”.

Porridge

Soft yet chewy, start
your day with hearty gruel–
it gets you going!

Before it began,
a hundred things ran through my

Brew-ha-ha

Under the duvet,
wonder how to take coffee—
