What can I see in mother’s living room?
Two small round tables with jigsaws on top,
On which lie things belonging to my mum.
Remote controls which can play, pause or stop.
There’s phones and pens. She’s just popped in to pop
My hot drink on the coaster: Horlicks with
Blobs on the top. Try not to slurp or stop.
All mothers like good manners (not a myth).
Popped to hospital again to see Geoff.
A game or two of Scrabble. Had to zoom
Along with word selection, or a strop
Was possible from mum. Seen and heard kith
And kin making enquiries. How’s Geoff doin’?
Not good but not too bad, that old grandpop.
