A reminiscence

I remember the house move like it was yesterday,

Mum and dad went looking at the place

the garden needed a trim

the backyard needed clearing out

and there was a fireplace that needed ripping out

the ulterior motive – little blister needed a bedroom

Mum wasn’t overkeen – dad was more enamoured

“Structurally Solid” is what he called it

the fireplace went west – the carpets went in

together with the rest of the furniture

teddy bears found new thinking spots

and little blister got her bedroom in strawberry pink
