I saw Salman Rushdie
slurping slushies in a cafe
whilst carefully crunching crackers
seeming knackered and remote

He bit a thickly buttered butty
stiff and oddly dodgy
looking doughy, sick and stodgy
and stuffed it roughly -all disgusting
down his goaty bloated throat

Perhaps it wasn't Rushdie
slurping slushies in the cafe
but some other cranky chappy
getting cross at being stared at
crunching crackers- I don't know

But if it was the sod, it's odd
because although he didn't know me
he got security to throw me
on my arse
out of the shop

I couldn't stop them
though I don't know what was wrong
with taking photos of that
strange and creepy slushie slurping 
cracker crunching
sandwich munching
weirdy bearded bloke

Goodness me,what can I say,
there's nowt so queer as folk

This put a smile on my face - I can just see him with bits all over his scruffy beard. Great stuff Bee!

Very creative, Bee, well done --- like a river of ideas bouncing about, collecting and uncollecting.

HI Bee

I liked the rhythm and rhyme to this one - and the humour. When I saw Salman Rushdie, I thought it was going to be deep and meaningful, but far prefered this approach. It must have been fun to write.

It was fun to write, and I'm afraid, not ever so meaningful.

Thank you, Jean.
