1 Fall downstairs and spend the winter in hospital

The down side. You might die

2 Eat cold food.Except for tea

3 Go to the library to read the papers

4 Live on asylum seekers allowance.You will not complain again

Give asylum if you can

,5 Learn Chinese on You Tube

My kitchens not refurbished

But that’s ok by me

I turn the Taps with pliers

When I make the tea.

The cupboards have no doors on

So I can see inside.

The bread bin has turned green again

So far noone has died.

The cooker needs attention

It’s all the Sunday roasts

I do intend to scrub it out

But didn’t like to boast

Plunged into the icy bath of truth

Love came to my aid to hold, to soothe

The garden looked lacklustre like dull brass.

Waiting for the full rain clouds to pass

Branches wave in dirty yellow sky

Under stormy winds the small birds fly
