in the shade


by dog e relaford



nellie had a picnic basket
oscar had a boat
they pushed it in the water
and hoped that it would float

roger was a river
foaming with rage
sarah was a novel
that turned its own page

terence was a teacup
overflowing with tea
vittoria was a vegetable
that did not agree with me

the sun was shining overheard
the worms hid underground
the audience waited patiently
to hear a strange sound

suddenly a dinosaur
ascended the stage
i did not hear his presentation
being otherwise engaged

i wanted reassurance
that life is but a dream
so i made myself a sandwich
and floated downstream
