'Bubble' the taste of Heaven and Bethnal Green

 


Life seen through ‘Bubble’


There are many vegetables in this world

So why not take the trouble

To collect the veg from your very last meal

And fry yourself some ‘Bubble’


You may poach your asparagus carefully 

To avoid the texture of stubble

You can cook your stew cordon bleu

But it still won’t taste like ‘Bubble’ 


I’ve never heard ‘Bubble’  squeak

Though I’ve ‘mashed it’ to a puddle

You can cream your corn until the cows come home

But it still won’t taste like ‘Bubble’ 


It works so well with any chosen ‘main’

And as ‘a selected side’ you should go double

It eats real well with a ‘smoked salmon bagel’

Because nothing quite tastes like ‘Bubble’.

A Crescent Moon and the planet Venus in conjunction to bring in the New Year 2025

 


“I'm not getting it Ted”

"The Moon and Venus looking both bright and leaner.

Following Newtonian directions in an ink black sky.

Bump into one another right next to our verbena.

Is one bigger than the other or just  further away?

Is one very very hot and one very very cold?

Just by looking up and out, I cannot possibly say"
