Biscuit Boy


I've been thinking a lot about biscuits lately!
This is about a boy I used to see walking to school every morning. He was known by the kids and I as...

BISCUIT BOY

The languid stride runs loose and fallow
His banana skin hangs sick and sallow
then from his pocket - it's time to risk it.
Custard Creams - a packet of biscuits.

He stuffs them in one after t'other
and offers one to his brother.
A Peak Frean Teen - he likes a McVities
investing in Type 2 Diabetes.

He pours the crumbs from the packet
stuffing the debris in his jacket
Wipes his mouth, licks his lips
Now he's off to buy some chips.
