The OrangeWendy CopeAt lunchtime I bought a huge orange The size of it made us all laugh. I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Dave - They got quarters and I had a half. And that orange it made me so happy, As ordinary things often do Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park This is peace and contentment. It's new. The rest of the day was quite easy. I did all my jobs on my list And enjoyed them and had some time over. I love you. I'm glad I exist. © Wendy Cope (1992), Serious Concerns, Faber & Faber. |
