Breadfruit

Boys dream of native girls who bring breadfruit,     Whatever they are,

As bribes to teach them how to

Sixteen sexual positions on the sand;

This makes them join (the boys) the tennis club,

Jive at the Mecca, use deodorants,

On Saturdays squire ex-schoolgirls to the pub     By private car.

Such uncorrected visions end in church     Or registrar:

A mortgaged semi- with a silver birch;

Nippers; the widowed mum; having to

With money; illness; age.

So

Maturity falls, when old men sit and

Of naked native girls who bring breadfruit     Whatever they are.
