The Terrace, Laverstone

22, The Terrace
is where a mean old lady lives.
She throws stones
at cars parked in front of her house

24 – there isn’t a 24.
Dad says it burned down
when he was a boy.
“Don’t play with Molotov cocktails.” he says.

26 is a young couple.
They’ve just had a baby
and they called it Emo.
Something like that, anyway

31 used to have zombies
but they rotted away to just bones
and the man that lives there now
buried them in the coal shed.

I think I may have lived in this street at some point.

Rachel Green said...

We must have been neighbours!

Ah yes. Doesn't every street have some residents like these?

I wonder what they say about me on the street where I live?

22 is Ada, Harold's mum ;)

Another poem to make me laugh this morning! Love the pile of bones and that wonderfully wonky door.
