We found one slug
yesterday
in my bathroom
This doesn't seem
hygienic to me
I wish the workmen
would hurry up
and do their job
putting a new floor
and drain in
They've been looking
and contemplating
without actually
doing it
yet

They give me the heeby jeebies

Not knowing what to do
for the best
sleep on it
and give your mind a rest

News headlines forecast:
'Very dry hot weather'
Suddenly
storm clouds appear from nowhere
Switching the headline:
'From as far back as the Bronze age
weather still mystifies us all'

Pop bottle
effervescence
speaking sense
not non sense
Don't spill it
and pour it quick
for the people
in the garden
playing bingo
trying to be
supercilious

Under the sun
that shone
innocently
on the desert
We saw a straw mirage
In the distance

I don't know why
there are so many wasps
this year
They can be something to fear
How do we catch them
without hurting them?

Confused
by the word
'syzygy'
I innocently
looked out
of the glass window
lifted my head
liltingly
and wondered
where my coins were
instead
