4th April 2018

morning rain
two sparrows collecting sticks
the last of my grass seed

My nose is too big
thanks to my father's genes
even the surgeon agrees.
I have a deviated septum
the reason I've been a mouth breather
for the last fifty years.
I realised it only recently
when a YouTube heroine
explained the same condition.
The surgeon suggests rhinoplasty
to correct the deviation
and reduce my nose size.
Hurrah.
Here's hoping the funding gets approved
for a quick trip to London
in six months or so.
