There is,
of course,
no such day,
as International Pet A Triffid Day;
it’s just something
I’ve planted into your mind,
to see if it will walk the triffid walk there.
.
So, when you do happen to come near
to any triffids today,
please take care,
and remember to say,
.
‘Triffids don’t exist,
they’re just from a book,
and, if wasn’t for those green flashes last night,
I’d take another look.’
