Chip Off The Old Block Poem by Douglas Scotney
Chip Off The Old Block
Finding carrot cut into rounds
rather than chips,
rather depresses Nigella;
not because it's too easy
to reconstruct a carrot
from its rounds,
and she likes the harder task,
but because rounds make her think
of girth and thin,
of waist measurement;
of quartering bodies
and Anne Boleyn.
