Daily missive breaks into the weekend for Saturday the 1st of March.

“I know what it’s like.”

The old man said

From the depths

He had sunk into.

Lower than the covers

Further down in the bed than

I could reach

Without breaking wind

“It is easy

To be lonely

If you have no imagination.”

I nodded in agreement.

“I had a dance party

Full of wildlife

It was fun until

My house burned down

From the kerfuffle.

There was a gorilla in the kitchen

A dragon in the hall

A baboon bowled me over

As it dashed out

Chasing the dragon.

Before I could get my bearings

I knocked a pan over

A tea towel caught fire.

As a Cockatoo whistled

Colonel Bogie

In the corner

A magpie danced a shanty

On the granite worktop

Tipsy after too much whisky

He said,

Not for the first time.

There was a roar

From a lion in the cupboard

Above the cooker

Too proud to come out

A menagerie sang the

Hallelujah chorus

From the bathroom

It always sounds better

In the shower

Ridiculous though it may seem

Carpet pythons

Like the steam.

I don’t know where I would be

Without them

To keep me company

They stop me from

Eating all the bananas.’

I left him

Curled up

Under the covers

At the bottom of the bed

With a marsupial.

Warming himself

Before going into

Hibernation.
