The Musings From Before the Day Starts
We shall go to the bookshop
With the vouchers we won
My daughter for her
'reading on a skateboard'
Winning entry into a photo comp
And mine for filling in
A survey that offered £5
I'm sometimes surprised
That I can read or write
My dedication to such things
Feels less than it should be
Although I suppose I
Was being formally educated
For 15 years in total
And learnt to read in the first 1 or 2
I like things that just 'click' into place
Maybe that's the point
Of trying just hard enough
I hate having tried 'too hard'
I once did that with a dalliance
On perfecting scones
I'm not sure what I was thinking
I stick to guacamole now
And randomise the recipe
To take the pressure off
