In Barnardo's Window Poem by Sheena Blackhall

In Barnardo's Window

Rating: 5.0


Mrs Buddenheim's blouse
Hangs with Mr Johnstone's shirt
In Barnardo's window.

Mrs Buddenheim ceased to require it
Last July when the fat peony pump
That sat like a crimson spider
Amidst its empire of threads
Suddenly malfunctioned.
A full-on heart-attack

Mr Johnstone met his maker, whistling The Roving Ploughboy, Courtesy of a bus which skidded to avoid a cat.

Mrs Buddenheim's blouse
Is hanging with Mr Johnstone's shirt
In Barnardo's window.
They'd make a lovely couple.
Maybe some day they'll move in together
And share a double wardrobe.
