Broken Biscuit People

The world is full of broken biscuit people Julie got pregnant on a whim She said they used the withdrawal method He withdrew in London while she was still in Manchester It would bring them closer together, she said So he moved to America to prove this theory She decided he would be back when the whim was three Where there's a whim, there's a way Broken biscuit people are philosophical It’s in their DNA He’s coming back Ten years gone he’s still coming back Julie sat down with a cup of tea and her favourite digestives The biscuit always tasted better when she dunked it into her tea But the biscuit broke, and her life unravelled before her He was never coming back The words finally hit home The world is full of broken biscuit people Broken biscuit people.

Broken biscuit people, now that’s unique! How did i never think of describing people that way. Ive had similar experiences with digestive biscuits breaking: its so frustrating: but overall youv delivered a very deeply meaingful poem on that is so profound. “ Broken biscuit people are philosophical It’s in their DNA” that should be framed. Love the depth of this one
