as laundry dries ( a reworking of an older post )

…

as clocks tick-tock - as laundry dries

& pigs wallow in filthy sties

i twiddle toes to kill some rhyme

whilst in the mind - a pantomime


as breezes blow - as fingers blame

& cress grows by the window pane

dick whittington has turned again

& mother goose is on the game


as facts are flung - as hats are donned

& fat ladies they sing of swans

alladin lamps the genie one

& cinderella's head has gone


as sheep get lost - as bridges sigh

& fuddled folk they wonder why

a beanstalk bursts towards the sky

as clocks tick-tock - as laundry dries

...
