The Teaching Task
...Lockdown over, I had to head to school
my pupils waiting to learn the golden rule
I got ready and put on that mask

Which makes me quite the fool
‘Cause scarves can make an outfit
Look both chic and really cool.

I stare at women sporting them
Tied in a jaunty knot

The Bee's Knees
...It's passing strange;
I never liked bees very much.
--thought them ugly, mean and hazardous.

on them to survive. My sentiments

Climbing from my earth bound mind the words begin to seep

A drug that will try and strain your confidence
A journey that will stress your mind and muscles as well.

A continent; a beach house flat – 
Room enough for a pony?
