streaks of pink sky

bare trees against the dawn

nightmares recede

Amazon order:

Wire cutters, heavy duty;

secateurs, canvas, rope

lightweight chainsaw

axe and hatchet

extra strong garden refuse bags.


For some rason the shipment is delayed

and the police have parked up outside.

I wonder if they'll help

remove my hedge?

That reminds me of the apocryphal story from Northern Ireland during the troubles that the best way to get your vegetable patch dug over properly was to ring in an anonymous tip to the Police saying that you’d seen men in balaclavas burying something in the allotment!

Hahaha I remember a similar joke to that :)
