Katie's 18th Birthday
Eighteen years of Katie Jane
Of disturbed nights
And days insane
Of pop socks swopped
For Gothic black
Of crockery
Stacked back to back
Of giggling
Behind bedroom doors
Of bulging drawers
And littered floors
Of powder round
The bathroom sink
Of carpet trails
With paint and ink
Of beds submerged
‘Neath soggy towels
Of cassette tapes
And Indie howls
Of music lessons
Fledgling art
Of saucer eyes
To melt a heart
Eighteen years of Katie Jane
And I would have them all again.
