sixteen last lines ( n o t e s f o r t h e n o s y )
…
then everyone ate beige
the badgers flew to jupiter
as pheasants strut their scuff
like buttons on a goat
a helicopter nose
& dancing ants in pantyhose
a walrus & a rose
the butler hanged for that
an ombudsman is born
but that's another trucker song
upon a nozzle night
within the jowls of owl
in shades of whitsun shite
of unicorns & cuneiform
so yeoman cloaked the oak
& everyone was swan

of dogs & dinners ( a p o e m & t h a t )
…
when the sun sinks down the sofa
& the fisher crowns a cobra
signets seven sing a coda
poets ponce on spring in winters
then the moon is cack & crackers
kangaroos & badger knackers
swishes swooshing as the clappers
rubber balls & squall that glimmers
as the minstrels mince of mittens
ribbons, rum & britain's bitterns
scuffles, scuff & fluff of kittens
fiddles, fleas & fish in rivers
bend the breeze in which we flutter
spin in ink as pencils sputter
scribble is a friend & fucker
sing the song of dogs & dinners
