Some of the cartoons caused offence

As men were portrayed as men

And women were portrayed as women

Rhododendrons as Rhododendrons

I was sitting in a grubby chair

Scribbling on a grubby pad

With a blunt pencil

It was a summer morning

In mid July

Lay naked on the bed

In front of me

Watching the migratory birds

Say Goodbye to me Stranger

Was playing softly on the wireless

I enjoyed the music of Modern Home
