Deltaesque breakfast (response)
I sat at the table,
pouring marmalde on my coco pops.
The washing machine was chewing my pants.
Various animals with broken wings,
mute barks and missing eyes
littered the floor.
Delta was by my side
licking spilt vegemite.
Daffy was dripping milk
from both ends of his 'tache.
A bird hit the window with a splat.
One of the cats with one eye
went to collect it.
Haunted looked longingly at
her empty plate.
Hawk wandered past, mumbling
of dragons and gargoyles.
He looked a bit mad
as he tripped over a passing platypus.
Prince looked over his glasses
expressed his wish not to appear in this poem
and returned to his crossword.
A pair of unmatched socks
danced to the Blue Danube.
Hill was dressed for todays walk
like a nobbly knees prize winner.
Mary looked at Daf and was inspired to write
' Ode to the milky moustachioed welshman'.
Table flowers, arranged by Ang
were taken by Haunted
and thrown over the table like confetti,
sticking to the vegemite,
and obscuring 5 across.
Outside the bin lorry
chewed up a binman.
'How Deltaesque', thought Delta
painting her toenails with more vegemite.
An unnamned croc appeared
and nothing political was mentioned.
