Suffering Supercilious Superiority Poem by Margaret Alice

Brabys; looking up sister’s address, knowing
my propensity to lose my way, Trichardt Street

Know how to get there, drive on without deviating
from the main road until we come to Kingfisher

Then Bloubos and Olive – lovely names, painting
a picture of birds in a forest, though I know

Most of it is suburbia and industrial area, but armed
with knowledge, I’m prepared to brave the unknown

Territory, ready for anything, I SHALL impress
my kids with my expertise and know-how

Not like the previous time when I could not keep
up appearances - had to admit total ignorance

Suffering their supercilious superiority…
