The Inkwell
#Socs #Halloween #Trick #Treat
No lanterns coming to the front porch
No ghosts floating past the door
No Vampires not worrying ’bout their canines
No Werewolves coming to explore
The street is surprisingly quiet
the children all indoors
as parents keep them from bugs in the air
and other nasty spores
But there’s bobbing apples a plenty
and games in the family house
and treats and the telly, filling their bellies
till they all have to be quiet as a mouse
Salford, Monday 4th May
It’s early morning, as i rise
and the street is busy to my surprise
for waking up the chorus (Dawn)
a pussy cat, a little forlorn
He’d spent his time, with his pals last night
playing around under the street lights
but now Ra is up, it has to be said
this furry old cat wants in for his bed
His stomach is full, thanks to a friend on the street
corned beef from a can – a most tasty treat
but his thoughts turned to breakfast, as on street he did play
so off to the garden , he began to make way
And up is his owner, so he’s through the back door
and slowly he goes off to his bed on the floor
so while humans are out, with meetings they keep
our furry old pussycat, is in bed, sound asleep

The stall it caught you unawares
and for a while all you did was stare
at the sweet and flavourful things on display
you bought a bag, and made your way
your favourite things held in a bag
like some sweet toothed burglars swag
coconut, cherry, vanilla and cream
all sat in a bag – your sweet tooth’s dream
but now you find its gone half past six
and you find yourself in an almighty fix
for the sweet stuff can wait – to a degree
as dad has made sausages for tea
so you wait for a while – and enjoy your tea
whilst the cubes of sweetness wait with glee
till your taste buds start to jump and stomp
and on pieces of fudge – you do chomp

three sets of feet – Walking on the Sand
Rendezvous with candy floss
Sweet stuff acquired – but only two pairs of feet
Smaller pair of toes, treated by Big Feet
To a Piggyback

Perhaps, it’s
Apt, that a
Number of these batter-based treats are
Created on Shrove Tuesday, For on the day after
Adults of a certain faith, may ask their
Kids to forgo the
Enjoyment of their favourite chocolate bars till the evening of
Saturday before Easter sunday, when the Easter bunny has hopped by
Who had the last Hazelnut whirl ?
Open up your bag and round
a quarter of sweets for half a pound a drumstick lolly that’s hard to beat lemon drops for a special treat chocolate footballs and fizzy drops the magic candy that fizzes and pops cola bottles and sherbet tubes candied shrimps and pineapple cubes Now , don’t eat them all now, they’re a treat, we agree but eat them all and you wont eat the fish and chips for your tea!
Salford 12th June 2018
Sits on the window – awaiting his next
Order – arrival of supplies, a
Little late, but
Destination is assured
In time – he’ll receive the goods and keep them safe from
Eager little hands, – the precious cargo will be
Right where they cant see it
Salford, 4th January 2018
That Tin box in the Christmas bag hides something
Really sweet and tasty
Everyone knows its something special
As you don’t have it to excess
Thing is – you can have some every day – after you’ve eaten your dinner
Its a little thing…
Expectation
it starts with the little things
growing up as a kid,
you really want to ride the big dipper,
but end up on the small caterpillar ride instead
And you want the best of the ice-creams
you saved some space after lunch
but the outcome’s much smaller than the picture
those biscuits look like they’re munched
But the fellow behind this is not fickle
and he’s not as mean as he seems
though harsh it may seem at the start
he wants to fulfil your dreams
So that space in that tum is not full yet
there’s a place that is not out of reach
selling bonbons and fudge and candyfloss
that you enjoy walking down street towards the beach
