I’ve been reading the News
And the book reviews
Drinking more tea as I read
Shall I buy one more book
I should never look
Thinking of others in need
Donating to orphans
Buying new saucepans
Or sheltering god in the weeds?
I’ve steam cleaned the kitchen
Till the fleas started bitching
Now I’ve straightened the steamer’s new lead
I’m late having coffee
An hour or so roughly
The clock changing never appealed
So I must get going
The morning is cunning
Thinks I have time under heel
