Early morning
slipper hushed stair,
Kettle warming,
Hungry cats glare
Shrug on coat,
Nightie Rustle,
jobs to do,
Welly Boots shuffle
Through the morning dew,
Tramline tracks
egg stuffed pockets
And "let me out" Quacks
kettle boils
whistle sounds
"come down" the troops
two step bounds
Steaming tea
Biscuit crumbs
Butter melting
on hot cross buns
Cats as blankets
Affront the Aga
Warming backside
Dripping Barbour.
