We’ve had two mango Frujus
because ice-cream is a no go
due to a lactose intolerance

I’ve cooked fresh fish with
steamed rice and seaweed 
plus an egg because well

my granddaughter is staying
we’ve swum half the day
and eaten up the rest of it

she’s in bed glued to a small screen
fighting sleep on granddad’s 
side of the bed - he’s away

she sleeps sideways and even
in a Super King, I am on the edge
covered in love and kicks

A man on Insta is telling me
alcohol will ruin my complexion
I refuse to believe him

I’m two wines in listening to
‘One Toke Over the Line’  a hit
from the early seventies

I know all the words and
I’m transported, in my twenties
instead of my seventies

marvelling  that I’m a Nana
hoping that last egg and
extra bit of fish does the trick

Or will she be bolt upright
eyes glazed fixed to the cartoons
and waiting for me refusing sleep

I’m two wines over the line
and my complexion is no longer
something I care a hoot about

She’s two Frujus and four pineapple
lumps in, plus I forgot to mention
those mini strawberry macarons

I’m in two places, singing with those
chaps, I know that shirt, I've kissed
that moustache, several different ones

pouring wine two pours over the line
