pageant tree  (  a  p o e m  )

…

blue cuckoos & blew kazoos

a kangaroo or two

pygmy shrews in gypsy trews

& gnus from timbuktu


silverware & silver hair

a weasel legionnaire

thunder hares in underware

& tupperware tongue bears


rubber zen & mother hens

a squint of feathered phlegm

fountain pens in mountain men

& ink in winter wrens


barking dogs & marching clogs

a catalogue of frogs

spartan hogs in tartan togs

& song's the signet gobs


orangeade & collonades

a swirl of murmur's maid

faraway in marmalade

& gargles snake the glade


twiddle nose & twinkle toes

a row of dominoes

swanning on in river flows

- or so the vision glows

...
