Chips were thawed,
cooked in fat
A metal-foiled roast
emerged from
gas
oven
The trimmings too
were tasty
Willi Boskovsky
conducting Strauss
cut sounds
in the air
But at the rink,
skating,
chicken fell
on the ice,
picked herself up
and
cried
into cider.

Gerald,
ReplyDeleteI have to repeat yet again how much I'm enjoying these daily postings. Much better than the usual fare found ubiquitously elsewhere. Bravissimo!
Gerald - you were recommended by Gwilym there, and glad of it I am.
