Cake and Ale

Rectangular slots

Punched

With a fifty-tonne, more or less

Up and down printers press


Round wire loops

Bound

With a mothers son, more or less

In and out the crimplene dress


On the coffee table

Or by the kitchen fire

Madeira baked in the cooker

Of that we ever never tire


This booklet of mine

Rectangular rooms

Roundabout the houses

With a mothers son


Flowered vases

Peonies and posies

Victoria, Birdsedge

And Hepworth school
