Woke at daybreak –
before cereal had it’s crisp on
or milk had left it’s teats,
Reached my toes with fingertips
that used to turn dials, which my lover –
Alexa, obviates now.
These used to peddle palaver,
but, they obfuscate now:
- Nancy Catechism,
- You-shittin-me Mitch,
- Chuck Spectacles,
- Kammy & Joe, plus
poor Graham, the cracker.
