The superkings
and cherry bakewells
and knitting needles
and mischievous grins
and meringue
and cats that play
and Kinder Suprises
and leafy disguises
and words that just mattered
a smile that just flattered
a favourite chair
a Coronation Street blare
a toothless grin
a card game you’d always win
a laughter that bit
a razor sharp wit

a silence that hangs
a lacking of hands
a double take that’s not you
a lot still to do
