Smartie at Home

it's raining
i'm eating a smartie
at home

the rain came
as we left
the art gallery

we were at
an exhibition called
before and after science

it was part
of the festival of arts
it was crap
let me explain

it was basically just stuff
that artists had put there
hoping you'd see
what it meant

it's raining
i'm eating a smartie
at home

i suppose you're thinking
she takes a long time to eat one smartie.
but there's something you don't know
i've eaten six
and there's something else you don't know
they aren't real

at least i've taken the trouble to explain
and i've taken the trouble
to make it a poem
even though.......( you can finish it )
