New work

Goodbye suckers

At least I’m at peace

More people came than I expected

Surprising really

I never thought about this day

To watch my children watch me

I hate to see them sad

I wonder what everyone is thinking?

Are they grieving?

Did they love me?

Are they happy?

Well there is no money

Only debt

Couldn’t even get that right

Worse than Brexit

Look at that shit it left behind

I wonder what they are going to eat?

What do you eat normally?

I would sell my soul for a fish and chips

Oh no, a nice chicken curry

Good and spicy

I wonder whether it’s still as spicy?

Goodbye suckers

I’m off to haunt my ex

This is a powerful poem, Phil. Are you okay? (That might be a silly question). I do hope you’re coping as best you can. (I’m not sure if you wrote this in the past or in the present). I care x

  No don’t worry, I wrote this on my lunch break, I thought it was a really interesting one. I’m enjoying the escapism and fantasy at the moment

    I’m glad you’re okay, Phil. It was a really clever take on the subject. I’m hopeless at writing anything with escapism or fantasy – I have a poor imagination. I’m pleased you’re enjoying it 😊.
