Greggs Desciple.

Poetic Licence


Notice of absence from Poetic Licence
I noticed the date changed but the world hasn't.

Gregg`s Disciple.

 

Auntie Pat has developed a very unhealthy habit.

She is now a hardened Greggs disciple and addict.

It was bad even before the invention of Deliveroo.

At least she was mobile to go and join the queue.

 

She is woken daily up craving that fresh hot pastie.

To auntie anything high in calories is so very tasty.

 Hobble down to join the other disciples of Greggs.

To purchase anything with the money she had left.

 

Joining the queue was her only exercise of the day.

Speedy Deliveroo has taken the daily exercise away.

Every three to four hours Deliveroo keeps delivering.

Auntie Pat's waistband is continuously expanding.

 

Sausage Rolls, Pasties, Pastries, Donuts on the side.

Now Auntie Pat's addiction to Greggs is easy to hide.

Till you go round to visit her and catch her by surprise.

See all those calories layered on her waist and thighs.

 

Now auntie Pat sadly can’t fit through the front door.

The Local council man has had to reinforce the floor.

Now auntie even struggles to get out of her own bed.

I guess it does not matter now she will soon be dead.
