Photo challenge #537 #What’s the time Mister Wolf

In days of old we would snap these stalks

and ignoring the milky sap that flowed

we held the spheres of fluff up to our lips

and with a gentle puff we blew until each

tiny frond detached and left us holding

a soft green tube bereft, bareheaded

wandering if the time was as it told

or perhaps was just an old wives tale

then later remember as everyone said

that later you would surely wet the bed.

    We used to chant, What’s the time, Mr Wolf. Oddly, it was always too early to go home for tea!
