Lamington 2



A painter
wanted to use real desiccated coconut
in a painting of one side of a lamington,
actual size.

That old dried coconut goes yellow
was the greatest of his fears.

He patiently painted
each fleck on the painting white.
'Lamington' kept fresh for years.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
1.10.22. If you're not a fan of the mess using the coconut in a bowl, you can pop the coconut into a plastic bag then carefully pop your choc-coated lamington in and gently shake the coconut over it to coat.
