WALKABOUTSVERSE 206 OF 230

Poem 206 of 230:  MY DIET

Chasing breads, nuts, bananas,
    Red sauce, apples, sultanas,
Crackers, conserves, cucumbers,
    Pickles, porridge, pottages -

Lemon barley,
    Cocoa, coffee,
Or cups of tea.

(C) David Franks 2003

My kitchen cupboard

My tea and coffee corner
