Mash

The mashers got teeth
Me, 6 years old, masher same age
inspector Potato smasher
Ian Rankin on my granny’s lap
My Teeth like a flock of highland moo
Cheese grater with big gnashers
Dennis the menace and his dog
Beano from Dundee, 1960’s
Granny Ruth mashing tatties til they’re grey in 68
2 whiskery schnauzers like sausage shaped tartan door stops
Hot Whisky for 25th January

2004 London the mash forecast is buttery
HD TV mashed potato
fun salty childhood
bum shit willy poo
Mash around my mouth, mash on the walls
Ketchup like a heat induced nose bleed running down someones forearm
No snauzers or Gnasher but chipolatas in a pan like tiny men
Tony Blair , Tony Robinson
on Channel 4
Boscastle floods in Cornwall
men in small grey pants that I haven’t seen before
Post divorce
Red letter box, birthday cards
My brain turned into mashed potato looking at the stars turn 6
