the strawberry tarts cooling on the window sill invite disaster
in the picture book where the Queen is humming
Cook has the day off someone is strumming in the courtyard garden
watch out I say but nobody listens to me in the picture book day
turn the page, next illustration for sure you can do your arithmetic
pure and simple
here: subtracting the stolen tarts from the rest
just do your best my Grandmother says;
angels can do no better.
