Refreshed by sleep, a pleasant change, I rose
Reluctantly to work, cloudy but warm
Black shirt, black trousers, black shoes were my clothes
No funeral, just work today: the norm
Was reasserted, to which I conform
Reluctantly. Sometimes, though, it’s quite fun
Better, maybe, than keeping safe and warm
And fat and lonely at home. Got stuff done
Staying till five thirty, then had to run
To catch the News At Six. Shopping, got those
Things I needed from Sainsbury’s. Alarm
At the pear-shaped state of Afghanistan
Forgot to get bananas. Tomorrow’s
A music open mic night, Altrincham
Tue 18 Aug
