PHOTOGRAPHY AND POEMS

POUR JUDGMENT

The cost of beef you can recoup

By boiling up the bones for soup.

So all of them I duly stewed;

A rich and tasty broth ensued

Which I then planned to drain away

To use as soup another day.

Went over to the kitchen sink

An automat that didn’t think

And drained the pan as I had planned –

Too quickly, though, to understand

That no container lay below

So helplessly I watched it flow

Right down the plug hole. Now cook owns

A forlorn saucepan full of bones.
