THIS MORNING

this morning
in his garden
he could not
but notice 
the attack 
of galls
oak apples 
on his poor tree
the molehills
randomly
pyramidding
his neat lawn 
but worst of all
the devastation
of the thuggee 
feathered starlings
to his beautiful
freshly sown 
finely tended
virgin seedbed
despondent
he went in 
for a much need
fresh cup of tea
stroked his cat Boris
who bit him.
