Pecking order
Who got the job,
I wonder, to efface
the jaunty white-stencilled
image of Dad,
still visible
in dark outline
on the back windscreen
of the family
4-wheel drive?
Or who leapt at
the opportunity?
All the rest survive:
frizzy-haired Mum,
kids, dog, cat.
Who might emerge to
re-whiten the profile void?
Or will they be inscribed
after the cat?
