While the jungle king
sleeps off a night of hunting
his queen is teaching
little charges are taught
the do’s and dont’s of the land
and where they play
they may be princes
but respect for mr elephant
adds a day of life
and snakes and spiders
need to be really observed
down to their venom
# food #drink
found chilling in the
outer ridges of the refrigerator
often found in drinks cartons but also plastic
drinks cartons
down the posh coffee shops
rotating blades chopup
ice cream scoops with
nice flavours of strawberry, banana or chocolate
kreating something tasty through a straw

he’s been in the booth
dropping dollars like bright nickels
getting attention
get to travel – no chance
so he sits listening – Angel
talking down the line
his pulse skipping as
he listens intently to her
beauty of a voice
rendezvous giggles
can be heard down the long street
as a date is formed
nickels and dimes
switched for dollar bills used in
the place where they eat

The Boy racer sat
in his fiery red chariot
red faced crestfallen
riding over the rough
was never an ideal
thing to do outside
and break noises
should not come with the sound of
air release from tyres
cue the rescue van
and an unplanned diversion
to the local garage

The new chap arrived
in the house last saturday
coming by direct post
The old bears were happy
to find their new companion
spoke their language
and the small bean bear
was happiest of all bears
for he was the same size
teddies dilemma
where to find marmalade
about the kitchen

They’d spent years perfecting this
each stage crafted
so that little rod of shiny metal
took the correct path around the race track
if they didn’t cross the line with it
no medal would be given – so
getting gold was going to be a precise art
#Simply6Minutes
The children sat by
open mouthed as the car passed by
the local playground
the adults could square it
as the ginger cat at wheel
travelled down the road
mice on the engine
dancing to the rhythm of
who let the dogs out
#FFFC #MFFFC
people were surprised
at the big yellow mallard
in the boating lake
it was pleasantly cool
in its shadow while keeping
the shine of summer
and little ones all smiled
as the big duck bobbed about
giggles were plenty
but around her – look there
her little ones keeping about
up from the duck race
#food #italian #pasta #pesto #basil
perhaps it’s the mix of italian cheese that
excite the taste buds
some might say its the way the flavoured oils
take a wonder around the pasta
or could it be those vibrant colours – brought by the basil
#socs #blush
call it repressed attraction if you must
but the signs are there for all to see
the look she has when he enters the class
colour to cheeks are instantly thrust
attracting the class all to agree
someone’s developed a summer crush
cold water in the w.c makes it pass
but watch in the corridors as rumours rush
