Mum's Dinner

The boy rides on the pavement on his mountain bike across cracked slabs and tarmac patches bumps and holes make him hold tight whilst cycling home for his dinner he pedals faster dreaming of pizza or maybe its chips or possibly both he's nearly back in time for his feast ice cream for afters or chocolate cake he thinks his appetite builds finally he's home The front door opens the smell wafts out Its mum's shepherds pie again The boy gets back on his bike
