Little acts of courage

What a fool I am
positively capering
motley and jingling
underemployed
I'm
cooking fudge that will not set
even trying to see whether it can be
rolled in cocoa
but in the end
we have made a rather gloopy sauce
that might go well with bananas

all because my son has taken his passport
for a young mans jolly
to a beery Belgium
and my Mother is moving to her
on her own flat
bravely at 85

They'll be fine
they'll be fine
they'll be fine

caper
shall we make a cake?
