Poetry of Joan Pond Marie

Glimpses

by Joan Pond

I never liked the statue of Queen Victoria.
It was cracked and green with moss,
as something from †˜Alice in Wonderland'.
But Matthew said
it was from Buckingham Palace
and he wouldn't part with it.
So, when I was in the garden,
I kicked the Queen,
and off came her head.
It rolled down the hill
and rested in the rosebed.
I waited for Matt to ask.
And then I'd say,
Oh yes,
I always did like
Marie Antionette
in the garden.
