But I have No Canary

I bought myself a present
Yesterday
In the sales.
Reduced in price by 60%
A little help from me to the struggling M&S.

But I have no canary.

An ivy will do.
Gracing the space behind bars.
It will not sing for us
In a welcoming lilt
As an imprisoned bird.

But the ivy will be free
Of constraint.
Happy to flourish,
As it's leaves
Reach out to us
Through the bars.

Better we think.

I am mourning the demise of the Blipster App for IPads which I found so much more user friendly and convenient than the official Blipfoto App.
