Witness

The bird that’s wounded in flight

Flaps its wings but falls to earth

It is an arresting sight

We know it falls to its death

Divertimento dietetico

I have been told my diet is too greasy

But to eat healthily is not so very easy:

Gorging on fruit this morning made me queasy

My lower abdomen is sounding rather fizzy

I tell myself I will be strong:
To have a snack,this late at night
I full well know it would be wrong
But I cave in: it tastes so right!
