An endless supply of Mojitos

A wind-up radio

A wall to kick a ball against

Or a children’s pillow

A bar of soap, some sun cream,

Strings and strings of pearls

A virtual sherry trifle

Or a wide-eyed blow up girl.

Lifetime’s supply of champagne

A cup of jasmine tea

A pencil and some paper

A crate of scotch whiskey

The V&A Museum

A karaoke machine

An orthopaedic cushion

A guitar or a jetski.

Triptych by Francis Bacon

A barrel of perfume

A set of balls and golf clubs

An all purpose prosthetic arm

A large supply of chocolate

Or fragrant body cream

The Piano Lesson by Vermeer

Liquid Tamazipan

A solar powered vibrator

A vat of Novocaine

A jukebox, a telescope

Sudoku book and pen.

Whatever would I choose

To make that island fun?

Maybe, like David Walliams

It would have to be – a gun.
