"Disaster!"

There's been many down the years
The first I remember was Moorgate
As I was a little kid
Home alone from school
With a cold.
No worries about
Social Services back then.
Many more since...
Kings Cross. Paddington.
Hillsborough. Heysel.
The Tsunami.
Assorted earthquakes
In no particular order
But none of the magnitude
Of my disaster today.
I can't find the charger
For the batteries in my camera
And the Worthing Tournament
Is less than a week away.
Perspective always was my thing.

Dulwich Poet 12th May 2013

( I've misplaced the charger for my camera batteries, don't really fancy buying a new one, because as soon as I do I know the old one will appear!)
