When things get difficult
I think about the DJ who once said
Sorry, that brings us to the end of time.
I think about the headline
People Are Absolutely Disgusted
By Gordon Ramsey’s Gravy.
I think about the man I saw
eating a lasagne with a spoon.
I think about mispronounced sayings,
small cheek bones and
the first slice of lemon drizzle cake.
