Sponge Bob's Stay at Home Holiday

A fistful of spiders
has just been let loose,
their web broken,
the flies killed.

New curtains sewn -
nets of sprigged exotics
wave to the neighbours,
death to the spiders.

Doorsteps washed,
screens brushed and wiped.
Footprints eradicated
fingermarks depleted.

Pantry reconstituted
rusty tins examined,
OK rice risotto and lentils
used by date foreign language binned.

A fist full of spiders
crystal ball gazing -
an army of ants lobbied
sweet revenge on my kitchen sink bench!

Sue's Mum's Spongy Pud. (As made for us while we watched one evening before the first course was served in Sue's art deco kitchen - no spiders!)
4ozs SR flour
4ozs sugar
4ozs butter
2 tablespoons milk
2 eggs

So easy - just mix everything together then whip through rhubarb and apple or ginger and peaches or whatever fruit is handy. Bake for 30 to 40mins at 180c Sometimes the batter takes abit of cooking in the middle, so watch your Spongy Pud doesn't burn on it's top. Really yummy and the neighbours like it too!
