In Pieces

  Ode to a Tesco trolley (by William Shakespeare)

  Oh Tesco trolley when thou dost shift

  Why dost thou veerest to the left?

  Whilst mine eyes art affixt ‘pon things for tea

  Though ploughest into tins of peas.

  What demonic toying,

  thrusts thy handles ‘gainst mine groin.

  Oh agony for sake of lunch,

  Thou givest such unfair walnut crunch.

  Most fortunate protection tis sold,

  but Tesco’s cod pieces are so cold.

  I wandered lonely as a crowd,

  but not all that alone,

  since I went mad and then allowed,

  myself to become cloned"

  Frankie rolled his eyes at Jane

  She laughed and rolled them back again.

  He offered his heart on bended knee

  She took it from him gracefully.

  Then tenderly she took his hand

  They rolled playfully on the sand.

  Then Frankie said with melancholy

  You only want me for my body.
