Growing

(2 stories)

Sandra, I think these trousers must have shrunk.
Are you sure? They haven’t been washed them since the last time you wore them.
Well I can’t fit into them any more and my stomach hurts.
Could it be everything you ate over Christmas Tom?
I think I’ve got growing pains.

There was no way it was ever slowing
It just kept growing and growing
Accelerating increasingly fast and wild
Crashing through poor greenhouse roof
Giving us the incontrovertible proof
Horticulture was the wrong way to raise a child
