217. the northern lights.
my wife,
bless her little polycotton socks,
arranged us a surprise
mini-break to Iceland
It’s the latest thing, I thought,
It’s the latest thing, she said.
to be honest,
I’d rather have spent the weekend
in Tesco’s:
and besides, it’s just not right
naming a country after a food store
(and I do mean food in it’s broadest sense).
but I did p-p-p-pick up a penguin or two
and a p-p-p-packet of digestives
– it’s not called Iceland for nothing.
and yes !
I did get to see the Areola –
Kerry’s very accommodating y’know.
