Afternoon Tea with Mr Shklovsky

We wondered if he would like us to pour boiling water
shklovsky shklovsky over leaves sewn up in paper.

We sat on slices of trees joined together at right angles
and the men crossed their legs at right angles

and the ladies laid their legs together like slices of bread.
Shklovsky shklovsky our skirts and trousers said.

After the bread the Roses were handed around.
Now here was something we all could understand.
