7th September 2024

finding the worm in the middle

I didn't know you could get drunk

from drinking wine - I'd had it all my life

in small sherry glasses,

especially after midnight mass on Christmas Eve - 

so when it was served free,

 at the Queen's Silver Jubilee street party,

I had a full glass on everything on offer

and my poor mother

had the scrub the carpets afterward.
