Shopping List

 

Day Seven

Frozen peas, dungarees

Tuna steak and dill.

Cheddar cheese, antifreeze,

Pepper in a mill.

Margarine, dopamine

Sharper kitchen knife.

Nicotine, propylene,

Where's the bag for life.

Mischievous not Mischievious

 

Day Five

Mischievious, mischievious,

Am I just too serious,

Punctilious and fastidious?

It's grieviously hidious

Mischievious, it's devious

Invideous and incidious.

No matter how insistuous

I am with supaciliousness,

It's used no less than preveious.

I wish I was amfibious.

 

Armchair

 

Day Two

A moon buggy made in silence.

I must quietly scrape-scrape

through loud Lego bricks

for that teeny-tiny

second red headlight.

I don't ever think of asking for help.

The old armchair has a hold

on Dad; he's watching The Six O'Clock News.

He'll get mad if he can't hear

about Nelson Mandela's birthday party.

The News

 

Day One

Huey Lewis and The News

Are world-famous birdwatchers.

The News (lucky!) spots

A Brambling on the feeder.

Oh, Huey! Oh, where were you?
