Monday 14 May 2012: The One-Eyed House
It was so windy last night
I'm surprised this one-eyed house
by the sea
didn't escape its moorings
and set sail
only to be blown off course,
of course,
and end up wrecked
a few miles
down the coast
where the unscrupulous
among us
could make the most
of the opportunity
to relieve it of its cargo.
Off they'd go
feeling like proper pirates
(with the widescreen TV
and the microwave
and the laptop)
rejoicing in their
good fortune
and singing sea shanties
all the way
to the pub.
Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of rum
