At lunchtime I bought a huge orange
my husband, sat in his chair with his belt undone
I said, ‘Sometimes I think of divorcing you.’
He laughed, looked at the orange
bigger than my hand, it was
‘where’s James?’ He smirked
‘Thats a peach!’
‘Looks like an orange to me!’ He replied
I was about to argue but instead I just shrugged
and put the huge orange on the chair
next to the melon no one admits is there.
Next time I might find a giant peach
and a man called James
that’ll make him fasten his belt up quick.
