Country mouse took town mouse out for the day. They set up camp, foraged for mushrooms, and photographed wild flowers. When she got home, town mouse rang up for a takeaway, watered her orchids and reorganised her cushion collection. Sometimes you need to see somewhere different. But luckily not often.

Foreheads dripping,
tensile stress
of gusting canvas,
muffled mallets,
children wailing,
whack, whack, whack,
wellies full,
squelching,
marking time
and pitch,
sinking sideways,
screaming to sleep.
Zip up, zip down
sagging ceiling,
tightening lines,
zip up, zip down
shuffling, sodden,
stinking hell,
home from home.
Daddy,
I need
the toilet.
