Plums in the icebox

Written on 18/03/2010. Posted in Books & Poems, Culture Vulture.

My favourite Poem on the Underground to date. Made me smile today on the Northern Line.

This is Just to Say

I have eaten

the plums

that were in

the icebox

and which

you were probably

saving

for breakfast

Forgive me

they were delicious

so sweet

and so cold

William Carlos Williams (1883-1963)
