.privet corner.

i
remember privet road down in winton
those days after the war

the second world war that is
though it feels like folk are at war
always somewhere
maybe we should look after things
and our people

anyway there is a privet plant in the corner of the garden
down by the water pumping station

they want it cut and i want it tidy
so we comprise as i love the smell
of the small white flower come annually

i shall rake the leaves and have made a sign ready

privet corner

it is not a hedge like my grandma had
just a privet plant
