Kerri Shying R # 63.1 High Time

High Time
( for Kit)
High time that fridge got hauled away
slouching rusting in the drive
in full view

I hear the indrawn breath of Mum
though how you speak while inhaling
is beyond me
that's an ancient trait

they were lucky
on the day
to get it that far

Fridges ruin Christmas it's a mercy
getting in before the others do

this time of year the air
grows warmer
the eye begins
a list

of all it will set right.
