What’s the time, Mr Wolf?
8 o’clock. Beta block
click the unopened post
Consider avocado toast
What’s the time, Mr Wolf?
It’s ten. Battle the men
How would Barbie handle this issue?
– hide in the loo, griping a tissue
What’s the time, Mr Wolf?
Midday. Let’s play.
Count those steps!
Jesus wept.
What’s the time, Mr Wolf?
4 o’clock. Make this stop
Laptop on the bed;
room’s an office instead
What’s the time, Mr Wolf?
Half-past five. Look alive
Make nutritious food
to alter glum mood
What’s the time, Mr Wolf?
Seven-thirty – the kitchen’s dirty.
Drink some gin
scroll to win
What’s the time, Mr Wolf?
Now it’s nine. I should feel fine
Attempt to read.
Return to feed
What’s the time, Mr Wolf?
Three in the morning; mind is warning
of things I said
– huddled by dread.
What’s the time, Mr Wolf?
Four twenty-three, lucky me…
Brew camomile tea,
take rescue remedy
What’s the time, Mr Wolf?
Alarm says six; so how’s tricks?
Ignore the phone
you’ll feel alone.
What’s the time, Mr Wolf?
Move into dawn, stifle a yawn
The creature gives chase. We run back to the starting line
He’s gaining on us; growls his answer: ‘Dinner time’.
