‘Crumpets face inwards’
That’s what the toaster said

Butter should be lathered
On the top-side of your bread.

‘open other end’
read the bottom of the can

never cadge a lift
from a geezer in a van.

claymore instructions are quite bland;
‘front toward enemy’
I completely understand.

but ‘crumpets face inwards’
remains a mystery

and so I stand and ponder
this new reality.

Very funny and thought provoking muse. I'm still scratching my head. What does it mean?

Toasted crumpets must be the equivalent of Egos. Thanks for the smiles. Tim

Definitely brings a giggle, and the photo legitimizes it to perfection!
I especially like the reference to "Open other end"..we are inundated with instructions:
"Tear across dotted line"
"Do not puncture covering"
"Use before 8-18"
"This end up"
"Peel back here"
I am surprised we don't have one that says "breathe".
I have to go now; my muse is picketing with a sign that says "Write!"

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
