AN ENDORSEMENT

In my review of their drying frame
I told the people of Argos
That it was strong, like Heracles
Who, as an infant, strangled
A serpent in his cot and reliable

Sturdy, reminiscent
Of Phoenician sailors

Rowing, bent against the lethargy
Of the doldrums. I thought it unlikely
To collapse. They should be proud
Of themselves. Congratulations
Workers. I salute you

It is where I hang my underpants
Hoping that the sun will finish them

Through the double-glazing

One Response to AN ENDORSEMENT

    1. wise words, and potentially quite useful.

      which particular frame is it to which you refer?

      argos do several, and i’d hate to purchase an inferior item.
