The Inkwell

from inkdrop – poetry, places and events

#Fowc #Lackluster

The baker looked at his apprentice

and gave him words worth sixpence

for a pie coming out of the oven

it wasn’t much of an effort

the pastry was set like stone

the fruit was mushy and runny

feast fit for a king ?

Hardly

so he left it on the window sill

for the hardiest of blackbirds to have their fill
