New Toads

they were there this morning
under the dustbin
two entwined toads
tony 'n gordon
though i could
be wrong
about
one

Love On A Tray

Joby was only six
early sunday morning
he took a tray upstairs
a cup of tea for Mum
a glass of lager for Mike

sorting the sock drawer

one pair with kangaroos, grey
a present from oz - becky?
one pair, black, father christmas
ye gods, that was islington

five for the price of two, dome
that's mandy, best left alone
one bright red with stripes across
one black and white - squares?

yes, give those to learning and crime
we can call it "joined up working"
show that we mean business this time
with rupert's help 'n a pair of those
no one will notice i'm not wearing clothes
