beast before easter  (  h m m m m m m m  )

…

bats in the attic

the battle of jutland

is naps in a foundry

& houses in huts


woods on the woodchip

achoo & confucius

a clatter of cushions

a scatter of struts


stalking the morning

a pun in the oven

as sirius dribbles

& riddle's the mutts


mist is a vista

it's greener on venus

a deer in y' earwig

& stagger the ruts


sit isaac newton

it's grey in y' ashtray

the eye of a neutron

a tab for y' butts


queen nefertiti

a spoon in the treacle

& barks in the darkness

a trundle of guts


pearls in a swirlwind

a natter of napkins

so beast before easter

& may contain nuts


throbs of thrombosis

plus frogs & trombonists

a river of scissors

the kicks & the cuts

...
