Wall of home knocked down to get morbidly obese teenager to hospital
The Guardian, 25 May 2012
Little treasure, giftwrapped, handmade
taffeta dress (a bit on the wide side),
spotted-silk ribbon bowed in flaxen hair,
watching the bounty the children bear
Jenga up twixt fridge and bin,
understand when the children sing,
Georgia Davis, puddings and pies
built a prison with you inside,
when you're dead we'll hum this tune
and dig you out with a fork and spoon.
