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
