Neglected, forlorn 

the upright curries favour

As a picture stand.

Puppy love

Leaning in closer

their nervous young hearts pounding;

after school lovers.

Forecast

 

Misky and murty,

weatherman spoonerism.

I rather like it.

Gaffe

I wanted the ground

to swallow me up, such was

My embarrassment.

A remembered situation. 

Piccadilly line

Trains delayed due to

non-availability. 

For the love of God!

An old tweed jacket

and trousers half-mast; wild hair,

So miserable.
