Deep Fried Lunchtime

Deep Fried Lunchtime

Sunshine in droves --
pinstripes and boaters
ready for a raft race
armed with Styrofoam teas
and lunchtime chippies.

Starved for morning
the race becomes battle
‘twixt rafters and watchers
fought with flourbombs
and water cannons
and the relative spark
of good humour
until the last boat
traverses the weir
with droplets of need.
