Day Thirty

HELLO AM I

EVEN CRAZY

She bought me a present

she said it was second hand

but what she really meant was

that it had a second-hand

because it was a wristwatch

I love wearing watches

with a simple stainless steel bracelet

and a white face with black numerals

Sometimes I can't tell the time though

because I put it on upside down

who would do that you ask

well it depends who dresses me

you see they don't really care

they just want to go home

as soon as they can

They tell me they're on job and finish

but I still pay them for half a day each

every day hello am I even crazy

They take me to the park

but I suspect its a car park

as we sit in the car and talk about the radio

not working because it's raining

I want to listen to the football but

they think football's the same as cricket

they hate cricket because they think its boring

they're boring they just sit there and talk sideways

I tell them I want to go home they start the car

and then remember that they've not done the shopping

we've got no milk they tell me and if you want toast

we'll have to buy some more bread and butter

We drive to the hypermarket they're really hyper now

running around like mad things on the shopping trolley

or should I say off it 'cos in reality that's what they are

When we get home it's time for them to go

I make my own toast and hot butter it with Marmite

they don't like Marmite I'm happy about that because

it's not the cheapest thing in the cupboard

I make a cup of tea with three sweeteners and let it go cold

I go to bed and drink it when I wake up
