eton mess

jammie dodgers
spotted dick
bangers and mash
soldiers

toad in a hole
fat rascal
angel delight
spoom

random? yes.
and if you’re wondering:
it all makes sense

slightly slippery
and mildly disturbing
they’re no children of our cynical times

yet i always wondered
at their household nature
how they passed the censor
and came to be

such unsuspecting
at times delighful
wholesome little things.
