Tinker Taylor
Sunday dinner on the posh table
set out in the dining room
among the ironing and the fish tank.
No tureens of vegetables
or great chunk of roasted meat;
that makes more washing up
and after cooking all morning
that's my mum's job as well.
If we're luck there's a pudding:
satsuma meringue pie
or tinned prunes and custard.
We count the pips.
