I
haven’t slept or drunk since June.
I hope to do so very soon.
I’ve only eaten chocolate twice.
Once with potatoes and once with rice.
I haven’t breathed since half past ten.
I’m not quite sure what happened then.
I haven’t eaten since December.
But I had two breakfasts in November.
I have only climbed a mountain once.
I did it for eleven months.
I got up late on the seventh.
And got to school on the eleventh.
I’ve waited for weeks and weeks.
Can’t wait till my plant grows up and speaks.
‘
Have you
won at the races?’ I
haven’t yet.
But then again I’ve never bet.
On Sunday I slept very late.
I got up at twenty five to eight.
I learnt Greek two weeks ago.
But why I did, I do not know.
I brushed my teeth in January.
And then again in February.
I can’t explain the many ways.
That I’ve got lost in the last five days.
I haven’t had a shower recently.
But I did in nineteen eighty three.
