Playing soldiers


from the ABC set The kismet fate of serendipity

She solders a bit of cheese on toast
Then she cuts them into soldiers neat
Whist he dreams a large rack of rib roast
She says—it's over. Did you cheat?

Taking the soldiers he straitens his back
Gives her both barrels and laughs.
“What’s this a roadside café a plaque”
Don’t see names just nosey giraffes!
