Did you hear that?

Hear what?

Like a earthquakey
boom?

Didn't hear a thing

There it is again...

Nope

And another one...

I didn't hear it

Get out of here!

Why? What's the rush?

You'll get eaten!

By what?

By the giant beans!

The beans? They're a fairytale

No - my dad was eaten
by a rampaging one - so
were my brother and sister

What? When?

It was before your time

You sure they were eaten?

Well that's what I was told...

You didn't actually see it happen?

No...

So supposing they exist
there's no bona fide proof
that they wish us ill will?

Well - not apart from the
members of my family...

And they're coming again?

Can't you hear them?

I'm a bit deaf in my left ear -
upsets my spatial awareness

They're coming again!

No - I heard you - I just
don't hear any beans...

Maybe you should keep off
the sauce?

I'm not on any sauce

Right - well beans are coming
and you'd do well to hotfoot it!

Which direction?

Well I'm going under there -
but I think you should make
for over yonder

Why so?

Because I don't want you
following me!

I thought we were supposed
to watch out for each other

Where'd you get that from?
I only watch out for you
because-

Go on...

Erm - why has it gone
dark all of a sudden?

Not sure - but it says 'size 19'
What does that mean?

It means-... it's a bean! Skuttle
for your life!


Hello..? Hello..?

Beans' wisdom, you say. Wild. To think we're all heading for the same exit door...

(ah and should that not be "humming"?)

Best from Bar

Thankyou Bar - I may do some editing because it was written fast to fit in with another post by Skia yesterday - yes I'll do some some editing...

You have your own style MM. You give me the opportunity to enjoy poetry for its own sake without having to interpret it.

Hi Delta (missed your comment there - this thing slipped off the page faster than I read it back after I wrote it)

If you want deep and brain twisty - there are far better poets out there for that- and, alternately, if you want light and breezy - well there are far better poets out there for that too (though be warned - my next is a doozy of light entertainment - watch this space ;) )

Is there anything you're NOT going to give me nightmares about? Seriously, I thought beans would be pretty safe territory, but now you've ruined those for me too!
