Mother found a shilling
down the back of the sofa
and gambled it
on a horse called
‘Bonnie Bethany’
in the 5th race at Carlisle.
.
It duly obliged at 5/1.
.
We gave
a collective WHOOP
when she presented
a vinegar-lashed
takeaway
fish and chip supper
accompanied by
lemonade for the kids
and a bottle of brown ale each
for herself and Father.

For weeks on end,
we regaled
each other with
exaggerated recollections
of the occasion,
and Mother’s
5th child was born
nine months later
to the day.
.
Our new baby’s name?
Bonnie Bethany, of course.
