it's the odd things
that bring you to mind
cranky angel.
your voice comes through
in a children's book -
'Grrr!'
and 'Watch Out!!!'

when i need to carry a big stick
now and again
i pretend
and raise it tall
just like you do...
Wham!
just in case.

you sing and ramble on
about this and that
(could u please help me
edit this poem? i ask.)
you say 'No!'
and live life
(a glass of imaginary wine perhaps?)
'Yes!'
