Día de Muertos


When Roger returned

From Mexico City

He bough me a psychedelic skull

That I now have on my writing desk

Selphine and Josie

Each received limited edition

Mexican football shirts

Celebrating the Day of the Dead

We have just returned from

Our favourite pub next to the river

Where the girls football shirts

Were much appreciated by others

Josie who rarely wears a bra

Flashed at a passing pleasure boat

On our way back to our flat

I knew then that she would sleep very well

No matter the disturbances of Sephine and Joe
