Postdiluvian snap
The dog still trails her mistress
everywhere round the house, concerned
her bed has been displaced.
The master ponders the fungus
sprouted on the guest-room wall.
The mistress clinches deals
for cleaning and flooring,
wondering what she can wear tomorrow.
'Remember before the flood?
Life was so quiet and easy.'
'Positively antediluvian,'
ponders the word-fancier.
