Today is the last Sunday I will spend marking papers (well, today I am marking my pupils' blogs from Norwegian class) this schoolyear. The weather outside is lovely and according to various mobile network operators I should be able to take my laptop and my work to the park due to the wonders of the wireless world. However, I have not yet encountered a laptop with a screen that can cope with sunlight, so for one more Sunday I am forced to remain indoors, and this poem by Jon Stallworthy is the closest I will get to parklife today. Enjoy:
Picnic
Those daisies know too much!
Seeing that kiss, and now
touching what they touch
ought to have made them bow
their heads. You, pressing her thigh -
because you dared to look
your rival in the eye -
shall be pressed in a book.
