Why did I buy this Marks and Spencer’s T-shirt

And, having done so, fail to take it back?

An average English-frump-beside-the-sea-shirt –

Why did I buy this Marks and Spencer’s T-shirt?

I needed something ace. This is a B-shirt,

Fit only to be worn beneath a mac.

Why did I buy this Marks and Spencer’s T-shirt?

Shall I wash it once and take it back?

3 Arboreal

                We hugged a tree last night

                And all of us enjoyed it.

                Ecstatic, by moonlight,

                We hugged a tree last night.

                Trees can’t put up a fight –

                That oak could not avoid it.

                We hugged it good and tight –

                I hope the tree enjoyed it.
