The Unripe Fruit
They brought me a banana It didn't seem quite ready. Should I just take it to my room would my left hand be steady? And then in time when it was done Where would I put the peel? I have some plastic bags at home But here, what could I seal? I had a lot of time to think Of what on earth to do. So I enjoyed it then and there This challenge was quite new.

Recopying the '85 Diary
It gives me pleasure to look back To Spring of '85 I'm glad what I recorded then Has managed to survive. I never could know otherwise All that was going on For memory's a fragile thing And moments can be gone. But I can read of what I did, A lot of portraits then. And who made Easter baskets And who brought flowers and when.

Café au lait
They offer me 'Café au lait' I'd rather 'à la crème'. If I were given Coffee-Mate There would be 'pas problem'. Coffee is a luxury Quite special and for fun. It seems we all have preferences I'm not the only one. However if I'm offered it, I don't just give it back. I never would put milk in it But I will drink it black.
