A handbook for engineering,
A toy racing car,
A second hand oil heater.
I’ll go out and buy one he said.
We don’t need an engineers thesaurus,
A scalextric set,
Extra heating,
She advised…..
I’ll get some glue,
And some wood
And some brackets
He said.
We don’t need shelves,
We’ve got cupboards
And drawers
She replied.
I’ll get some yeast
And flour (strong white)
And a mixing bowl
He told her.
But you burn toast
Add salt to cakes
And set fire to the grill
Three times.
I’ll buy a shed, she said
For you, she said
Then you’ll be happy
She said.
My winter woman has turned into an early spring woman snow is still on the ground but cherry blossom flowers have sprung from the trees twigs and branches, it feels like an old surrealist painting, and I don’t object to that but I wish I coukd do better details .
