~

the death of a soap star ( rats paos a fo htaed eht )

…

wrong’un on the box
hark, a herald angel sings
mercury in thee

hespero below
see the shite beyond the dark
panto purgatory

beckons like a nonce
new producers, budget cuts
ratings on the slide

once the grannies scowled
thirst another universe
storylines have dried

now’s an egg again
up the creak without a boat
swimming in the pooh

come back as a dick
whittington or mother goose
supernova you

…
