Family Portrait

[Delta40]

The tiled floor you polish to kill time
gleams and I know someday
Granny will break her hip when she visits.
It means something to you,
for this to happen.
Revenge for the plastic fruit
she handed down to you
in her living will.
Yellowish brown and worthless.
You reflect upon her tarnished love
and clean her picture frame with Brasso.
I wonder why everyone in Britain
has an Uncle Jimmy except me.

impenetrable with a fading yellow brown spotted skin, iconic in its references and I have no uncle Jimmy, mad arsed vegimite. A joy.

Everyone in Scotland?

Not even close.

Well with good luck and a fair wind the scots will soon be on their own.

It's metaphorical.....I used to have one but I lost it and now it seems like everybody else has what I no longer have...
