I’m bed
I’m bed
not wardrobe with my back against the wall
ladle not fork
breast stroke not crawl
lintel not brick
flagpole not vault
sweetcorn not wheat
I would like to meet a man for swimming,
visits to ikea,
soup,
who
prefers public buildings to a pub (lol)
and is looking to buy a cottage in a year or two
gluten intolerance would be a plus
