BAKINGS

Advice : Janice Dempsey

 

Stirring the porridge

I think of Miss Rymer’s grave.

She’s passed her century if she’s not in it.

I wish I’d written this,

she wrote on my homework.

 

Keep stirring, don’t stop,

my mother always warned.

Some advice, some praise

stays with you.

Keep stirring, or life goes lumpy,

sticks.
