Stomach

Plunged

Breakfast

Dropped

 

As milk

Curdled

And

Swirled

Whilst

Waiting

 

For the

Door to

Lose

Its argument

With

The force

 

Splintering rips

Ripping splinters

Wrenched it

From

Injunction

Coated

Hinges

 

Suspended

Spoon

Laden  

With Sugar

Coated Puffs

Stayed still 

Stayed put

 

School pants

Turned from

Just warm

To warm and

Wet

 

Eyes could

Not look  

Stare was 

Stuck

 

At the

Back of

The cereal

Box

 

Which

Declared  

There were

Only

Six more

Tokens

To collect

 

He heard

The snap

He heard

The crackle

And he heard

The pop

 

As mummy

Was

Awarded her

Consolation

Prize

For hiding

And seeking

 

Sloppy

Messy  

Kisses

 

Planted 

On the

Bridge of

Her once

Very pretty nose
