Linnet's Wings on Facebook

British Guy by Karen Kelsay

He has lived with that Californian
for
twenty years; the one who attempts
to serve him microwaved tea

and rolls her eyes when he refuses
to eat dinner and
dessert with the same fork.
She holds her breath while spreading

Marmite on toast and still places fruit
with savory
dishes. I've even seen her fish
an ice cube from his glass

with her fingers. She refuses to make
fried bread and
several times a week
forgets to warm his dinner plate.

I
am told she won't even taste
Branston Pickle! If it wasn't for
the way
she adores his accent--he'd be gone.
