Weetabix offer, 1970
wet and dreary
the cat yowling to use the bathroom
or be fed again

Guilt and Regret
17.

selling my Lego
when I was too young to realise
what an asset it was.
All those tokens Mum saved
off the Weetabix packets
for the magical castle
and the cars
and the other boxed sets
all gone in an instant
bargained away for two pounds
because I wanted something ephemeral
I can no longer remember.
Gee.
Such a stupid kid I was
and still am.
