turnips for the books ( skoob eht rof spinrut )

~

pickled cabbage day

splatter saturday

sun is pissing grey

apple afternoons

~

bob beneath the shroud

cauliflower cloud

squiggles ink aloud

mizzle shrivels prunes

~

swans upon the once

hymns within the bonce

dance as sonnets ponce

ants in pantaloons

~

fragments of a gist

not a shopping list

carrots in the mist

brambles & bassoons

~

tangles in the sludge

spud a sunken trudge

nutter fingers fudge

sinking sanded dunes

~

wurzels, worms ‘n’ hooks

comas, crows ‘n’ rooks

turnips for the books

suitors, soup ‘n’ spoons

~

all the swirled’s a stage

gurn another page

rage against the beige

scree the scrawl of loons

~

smeg the smog of dearth

kicking clods of turf

dream of peas on earth

egging mutant moons
