the title got me thinking



we had comics on tuesdays and thursdays

from the middle shop up the hill



sometimes there was a whale

in the story with a picture



round grey with a fountain in it’s head

it’s tail akimbo                                   later



i learned that they don’t look like that

really   .



he said



real stars do not have points  .



i guess i shall never see a whale

though some bones are over the door

in mallwyd church porch



up the road
