Mildly pretentious doggerel are us ....
A Winter Break
An early light, uncertain as the grip
My bike has on the slush below.
But I finesse the ridge and slip
Negotiating as I go
Dare I pretend, there?s still no way
Let them sneer, ( He?s taking the piste..).
Worth it just to steal a day
Of childhood, from the orifice.
Yesterday we shrieked and laughed
On our nifty orange sledge.
Down a glassy smooth snow path
Banged our boots on our door step.
In the agelessness of snow
We and our children were the same.
But now the trains are oozing slowly
Like cold blood , through a reptiles veins.
Up to London, where the unread post
Messages and E mails wait
The Gulls sing to penumbrian ghosts
A lament that there is no escape .
?I`ll be in. Is there much on ?
Yeah well I don?t keep Huskies mate?
Phones beep , doors creak open
The hungry bawling world awakes
