This is a short piece of poetry I did last year on the back of a notepad.
Pick ‘N’ Mix sprawled
On the floor.
Health and Safety would
Frown and insist upon the dangers of,
Of what?

England remains
Tight-lipped about its
Controversial lifestyle, our
Polititons lead
‘Don’t worry’ they

Sooth. ‘The money is
Where it needs
To be’
In their pockets, in other
Words. Yet we ask

Where is our hard-
Earned cash?
Not to the army
To the hospitals
To schools

But, of course,
The most important
Of all- Health and Safety
Who sneer at the Pick ‘N’ Mix
On the floor
