A Long Shadow

On the beach

at Duckpool

we found

Dad’s willy

made of stone -

fat

and grey

and ridged.

We took it home

and

kept it on the mantelpiece

in the kitchen

next to the bell

and

Mum’s used stamp jar.

 -

Mum said

that

when they were

makingbabies

Dad’s willy

was

ten inches.

It cast a long shadow.
