Daver Austin Poet Rhyme

Giant Cupcake

GIANT CUPCAKE

With raisins, nuts and cinnamon
Quite moist all through
Not the usual 3-minute egg on toast
Oh no!     I’m taking a chance on something new

Just a crack of dawn
Splotches through the trees
And with smoking black coffee
This special morning promises to please

Mondays, like any other
Count increasing wants and pains
All constipated within this hardening frame
Aching to evacuate, enflatulate
All with awareness enflamed 

My simple wants are for those lost
Those which children possess
A healthy excitement and joy
Dramatic imagination –
Yes, that’s it, I guess

Ah, mind’s eye has gone sick white
For only sleep will stir imagination’s sight

I shake my head
Twist the catch from shoulder and neck
Sigh, and take a bite

Dave Austin
