Taking the piss,
and hating the morning.
They made a tape and
called it “Eat Your Veggies”.
When dawn arrived,
they turned up the sound.
It was the sound of a fierce
wind against their windows.
Underneath,
a subliminal message repeated
the words
“Eat your fruit and vegetables”.
After a few mornings,
gardening utensils, trucks,
and gloved hands appeared.
The street is known as,
“The Fruit Bowl Street
of the South-East”.
Now for another experiment.
