I was a city born and city bred young fellow,
whose shoes had mostly only touched concrete and tar.

and my entertainment was drinking at a...

Jam roly poly, treacle sponge
And sticky toffee pudding head the top of my list
But apple pie, rhubarb crumble
Or a decent cheesecake are hard to resist

Banana splits, eclairs or brownies
Dumplings, nougat, cheese board or mousse
Crème brûlée....

Admiring his newly refurbished vending cart;
Spick and span with racy lines, a proper seat,
Digital till, weatherproofed, and state of the art
Men lean street ready selling machine.
And here I am...

Belly, stretching skin to limits
Getting heavier every day
Scan says just three months to go now
Can’t go quick enough I say

What a miracle each new life is
Passing genes down through each age
Will the hair be dark...

It would be another story,
So much simpler not to care
Or have to be aware
Of how other folks must strive
To make a crust to stay alive.
I could keep my privileged indifference
Surrounded...

THE PUSSY CAT AND THE OWL

They took some hash and plenty of cash
Wrapped up in a banker’s draft.
The Owl looked up...

Harry Finnegan loved his horse,
Not in the carnal sense of course,
Just as a valued animal friend
Loyal and faithful to the end.
You’d see them every day up town
On Harry’s milk and yoghurt round

Ailing armadillos advertising artichokes. But bringing back brilliance brought big booming bangs. Courteous cats creating canopies. Dogs do dare dream during digs. Energetic eggs evaluating effigies. Frying fortresses frees flamingos. Grateful goats grinning greedily. Hippos...

We’re having a little break from home
and had planned a busy day,
after a leisurely breakfast
we would soon be on our way.

We sauntered down to the restaurant
and were shown to a window table,
I fetched a bowl...

At the deep end of night
when all that can be seen is the digital clock
and the light under the corridor door,
we slip out of our personas -
a fumbled attempt at drowsy love-play;

Tonight,
The milk bowl moon comes back.
Sitting alongside, on a shadowy bough,
The old white owl hoots
With its inimitable yoghurt voice.

I am told it's French and then, well, that's it

I offer my son another mint
He'll one day discover mint sauce

I'm drinking yoghurt out of a glass
I'm annoyed at...

What can satiate the soul?
What can surpass love? 
Perhaps that which delights 
the palate with a sweet tooth?
A crunchy crust of pastry
filled with delicious double cream
yellow, fragrant, and luscious, 
and splashed over the crunchy crust
refreshing...

Soft life had decided to give In  
A glass of vanilla yoghurt    
A piece of cake for breakfast  
A plate of macaroon for lunch  
And some pasta for supper...
