i)

my first girlfriend´s name was jennifer
(jenny wren the headmaster called her..)

every day (as packed by my mother)
i gave her a packet of crisps (salt and vinegar...)

at luncheon eternal love she swore..
her sweet kisses mine for ever..!

huddled diminutive together-
a pair of chip crossed lovers..!

ii)

ah!days of golden wonder:
a halcyon time to share..

then,perhaps due to human error
once,did the fates conspire..

where..?not here..sandwiches..a pear,
she was away and nose in the air-

off with roger the goal-keeper..
my heart crumbs on the floor..

iii)

at home i told my mother and father
he rustled his newspaper

mum said it was cupboard love or whatever,
i regarded the cupboard long and longer..

the dog wagged his tail by the door
the cat on the chair..

what was the answer..
not to care..?

i liked jennifer..
i would consider...


a pair of star crossed lovers-romeo and juliet-shak..
