Blackberry jam, thickly
spread,
all around my
mouth and
bread.
Strawberry milk, fun to
suck,
through a straw
from my
red cup.
Raspberry cream, cold on
lips;
lick the ice
and crunch
the pips.
Cranberry sauce, red and
sweet
for
our Christmas turkey treat.
Gooseberry tart, topped
with cream,
juicy marbles
soft and
green.
Mulberry juice, on my
chin,
my
tongue’s red, poked out or in.
Blueberry
cake, I can’t
wait;
soft blue
crumbs left on
my plate.
Bearberry hugs for Mum
tonight,
sleepy warm and
tucked up
tight.
