Cricket in Limbo

By Ash Lindop

–

Excuse me while I curl my quiff.

I’m neither flaccid, nor stiff,

but stuck in Limbo with a Cricket.

–

This Cricket leapt up with a giddy delight:

“Hey, you wanna’ fight?”

And I’m like:

“You’re a cricket, right?”

Right.

–

The Looking Glass became

Pint Sized.

And in my mind’s eye

not even time flies.

Fine.

–

While graciously salacious

this Cricket may be,

I think it’s rather silly.

–

It is quite

the task

to stay

behind

this mask.

They say we’ve all

gone mad here,

and that’s that!
