Couple of seasonal snaps from Raynes Park
TUNING UP
after
carefully
tuning up
my guitar
I have decided
to tune up
for the new year
my whole life
but find that
many of
my strings
are missing
frets wobbling
nut bent
saddled splintered
sound hole gaping
neck warped
tuning keys skewed
bridge shattered
pick guard flapping
and as for my
poor body
top pitted
full of worm
it's cracked
sides splitting
and who knows
what's happening
to my end pin!

THE PRESENT
when she
gave him
the present
of the packet
labelled
'one hundred
and twenty five
assorted screws'
he paused
slightly before
thanking her
