Pressed leaves on the path
Like wee dinosaur footprints 
More ephemeral

Sharks and Suffrajets

Emmeline Pankhurst.
Misogyny made her fit to burst.
As too the straitlaced correctness of Suffragists;
Suffragettes ruled out nowt bar their fists.

Or do you prefer

Emmeline Pankhurst
Conshies cursed.
Men who'd not fight the Boche
Got white feathers no matter how posh.

Laboratory Rat

Such a sense of loss
Of self for a simple tooth
And for eyes limbs mind?

Or perhaps

Can corporal loss
Cause mental disruption too?
Hoarding tendency?

Root Canal

Searching for trousers
Fear-filled hind brain's cunning plan
To avoid dentist

or perhaps

Extraction today.
Ego's response to id's Angst
Is to hide my pants?
