Shhh

I keep a shoulder spare
just in case
when you're small
I promise I won't tell
double-dog promise
you can rest
be warm
sleep
easy
sleep

I went to town today, oh boy
and discovered I had lost my invisibility
couldn't find it anywhere…

After a few chores
the urge for a pasty overcame me
I sat outside
with a medium
and a sprite            and magic
my invisibility returned

Just Outside Newport

My eyes letch around th
e contours and slopes o
f the river bank both b
anks one eye left one r
