Saint Peter’s Penny
Little square envelopes
Brown, with picture of
starving black boy
Forlorn, malnourished
and pitifully pleading
For the heavy old penny
To be on the inside of
the envelope, licked securely
And mysteriously
transformed into food
To African near
skeletons, via the coffers
Of the well fed Vatican
‘Bring yours next
Monday, Brogan. Don’t forget’
9am Every Monday, Collection for African children :
Saint Mary’s School : Failsworth Manchester
