I start off being optimistic
With my big saucepan
Only as a last resort will I ever
Eat  soup from a can.

but this was no ordinary one

Dad, how I love to recall
The days when I was very small,
On your lap, ear upon your chest,
Moments like these I loved the best.

Holidays with coastal walks,
Singing songs and having talks.
Shadow puppets on the wall.

Scrapping saucepan bottoms to live
With tiny waists and twiggy limbs
Sting-less wasps in the camp they are!

Tell many poems about stolen life
Life abused, tortured and betrayed
By the...
