I Fondle With Fear Every So Often

To fear commitment

It happens

Slowly it just becomes part of me

Of us

Subconsciously tickling away

Scabby investment

More than a chatty cabbie

In a month

I’ll be the happy chappy

Still

Tatty and scatty

It’s all that makes me meander

With a complexion

Stained by Westminster Abbey.
