On Friday she got flowers.
Friday’s child, Friday’s flowers,
All the other hours of all the other days of all the other weeks of all the other years she got..
Broken eggs and burnt matches,
Overdrafts and silence,
Hidden keys and a punch in the neck,
Lies and perfume,
No shows and an empty chair,
Pokes bitch,
Bed favours,
Threats and new shoes,
Pies and burns,
Love missiles,
Tears and tea,
Bed rest.
Stares with a smile,
Undetected flying objects,
Broken eggs and burnt matches,
Overdrafts and silence,
Hidden keys and a punch in the neck,
Lies and perfume –
But it’s OK.
She got flowers on Fridays.
