efter the bombin
the wae soond
o a moothie




after the bombing
the sad sound
of a harmonica

nursery's
watterside kettle
...gaislins stoorin, duntin




nursery's
riverside picnic
...goslings running, bumping

granfaither admires'r
nursery pentin
...she birls it richt wey up




grandfather admires
her nursery painting
...she turns it right way up

aw the wye tae the kirk
a butterie
jiggin




all the way to church
a butterfly
dancing

gym cless  -
athort the perk
cairtwheels rowin




gym class  -
across the park
cartwheels rolling

abuin the burn
crans'n midgies
in a deidly daunce




above the stream
swifts and mosquitos
in a deadly dance
