April 2024 Tankas

My cat’s a psycho
I feed her treats all day long
But she kills poor birds
When I shut her in my room
Her night claws attack my toes

Penzance bid me: Come!
A hotel with a sea view
But on further thought
It seemed an awful long way
Just to eat Fish and chips

British Summer Time
All the light you could ever want
Sakura  in bloom
Served up with wind, cold and rain
I’d rather be in Asia
