Strawberry shortcake

The strawberry shortcake is mixed with rice pudding, 
just like the onions in my head with the mince.
eggs fry on the pan
and you can get a ten item breakfast;
for the price of an hours labour on minimum wage. 
deckchairs bow to each other on the beach
whilst the gardener tends to his tomato plants,
you can tell that spring is almost upon us.
submarines trundle along the motorway, 
holding up all the commuters on their way to work,
men glide by on bicycles without wheels; 
or even a chain, 
and children throw marshmallows into the wishing well.
