Poem: Only the Thames

Frank by Lenny Abrahamson

I bought my son gluten free brownies

He's quite the one

jumping in the pool

all his clothes on.

My only son he’s-

not like his sisters

not like my mister

can't give him any hugs

I bought my son

a large huge house

gave him lots of space and light

didn’t I?

Yes I did.

his girlfriend

made her do 50 jumping jacks

in the morning

fed her steak and kidney pie at night.
