A Maze Ing

A picture frame

a clock

a wok

a cutting board

a mat

were on the list

when I left home

instead

I bought a rat

some finger puppets

and a vase

a bed

a stepping ladder

and if
that wasn’t
quite enough

the thing

that makes
me madder

was the meatballs

set in gravy

with a dollop

of potato

that found their way

into my mouth

when I met

with my friend
later ...

dazed and glazed

and programmed

to join in

any queue

we wound around

some railings

linked
to mass production
food...

following 

all the others

we grabbed
a tray

and plates

piled them high

with mash

and meatballs

bagged a table

sat

and ate!
