Poem

I am Cinderella


Moping the floor


Vacuuming the dust


Of life


I make the bed


The cats


Sure they're fed


The compost bin empty


I Scrub the tiles


Fill the dishwasher


Noughties man


Complete with smiles


You come home


And find something I've missed


A fault, a mistake


You write up a list


So I am Cinderella


My car a coach of mice


But at least I think the house


Is tidy


Clean and nice.

Wrong


In the butchers


Person:- Hello, I would like some meat


Butcher:- What type of meat?


Person:- I would like meat from a cow


Butcher:- What cut would you like?


Person:- I would like shin


Butcher:- How much shin would you like?


Person:- I would like 500g's of shin


Butcher:- That will be £3.50 please




Right


In the Butchers


Person:- Hello, I would like 500g of beef shin please


Butcher:- Certainly. That will be £3.50 please.




See how simple it is? How an unnecessary conversation can be condensed into a just one statement and answer? It's not hard really is it?

Poem

Seven days seem so far away


Seven nights too long


When I was younger time seemed to drag


Like the knuckles of King Kong


But now time seems to go too fast


When spent like mercuric sand


Though seven days is far away


I know the time's at hand
