Dumplings Menace…
Larger than golf balls
On occasion.
Creamy, stodgy,
Unsuitable for human consumption.
Soft, yielding, tasteless
Balls of bland deposits,
Flicked by gravy
From mother’s post-war stew…
Larger than life
On occasion.
Dreamy, podgy,
Unsuitable for a child’s conception.
Soft, gelatinous, fearless
Balls of threatening dumplings
Rolled towards me
From mother’s nightmarish stew…

Bad dreams as a kid about the encroachment of giant dumplings kind of wrecked my appetite for them.
Have never consciously eaten one since…
