Mikaela Castledine #29 All The Mammas

All the mammas are out
with their cool maxi dresses
with their fractious children
they are putting to sea in the supermarket
on the last day of the holidays

big shipped and hoving
they are coming around
battleships and cruisers navigating the aisles
weighing anchor
hauling wind

all the midshipmen and mutineers
have swarmed ashore
prising loose the sugar shelled
treats reachable as periwinkles
suckable as gull eggs

the mammas
are stocking up on fresh fruit
and sailing for the heads
