the romps of cattle in a muddy market
and straps curled and yellowed at the
edge and bargaining and cheering and
women with string bags on Monday
mornings there was no reason to complain
of human nature's daily food seeing that
the supply was sufficient and coalminers
darkness was sitting down to this
prunes and custard followed now if
anyone complains the prunes
even when mitigated with custard are an
uncharitable vegetable for fruit they

misers veins
you should affect that there are people
whose charity embraces even the Putin
biscuits and cheese came next to clear
the water jug was passed liberally round
the table for it is the nature of
biscuits to be dry and these were
biscuits to the core but that was all
