cripes on a bicycle  (  a  l o g i s t i c a l  d a y d r e a m  )





hedges of edgelands

bricks of the styx

dung of the beetles

tongue of the beaks


larks of the arse-ends

friends of the blends

romans & yeomans

mud on their cheeks


hawks of the hill-borne

whores of the moors

warbles of walrus

scaling the peaks


whales of the forest

foals of the vales

jiggles & jumbles

gifts bearing greeks


quails of the dale's dip

bees on the breeze

barons in manors

breathing antiques


berks & bezerkers

clowns in the town

rats in the churches

whispering squeaks


birds of the burbles

hares of the wares

bears of the woodland

shitting in creaks


bats in the valley

shepherds & sheep

tremble when thunder

rumbles & speaks

...

interstellar hedgehogs  (  p l o v e r  t h a t  r a i n b o w  )




interstellar hedgehogs

chasing rays of star stuff

ostriches in sandpits

gargle as the lark


lazaruses dead frogs

jiggles with the dawn's balls

seven speckled blackbirds

burble in the park


bursts of belgian folk odes

bits of smurf & tintin

as the polecats pole dance

& the maidens bark


shapes of wraith & covens

blips & baker's dozens

interstellar hedgehogs

sing a song - & hark

...












































































































































 

big farmer runs the world

big farmer runs the world  (  a  t r u e  t a l e  )





he creamed it through the atlas

he cheetahed sphere & far

a grin upon his noggin

a whoosh of ooh & arr


he hawked the haunts of northern

& hared the lairs of south

without a stitch of stalling

a straw straw in his mouth


he swished a swish in cities

as traffic crept a crawl

a giant stench of silage

at least sixteen feet tall


he stumbled not in jungles

as serpents stir & hiss

& broke no sweat in deserts

'twas all a piece of piss


he chased the sprite horizons

from eastern light to west

a flash of cap & scamper

a tweed suit, boots & vest


he legged it over hillocks

he raced the rivers' swish

( but swan the bits with oceans

amongst the wrecks & fish )


from john 0'goats to belgium

from tim buck - too - to crewe

'fore home to wed his cousin

she's only two foot two


for miles giles pegged the planet

as earthish firma twirled

& swirled as stars were singing

- big farmer runs the world -

windmill wizardry  (  a n o t h e r  c h a i n  o f  t a w t  )





windmill wizardry

millers & familiars

farmers in a den


farmers in a den

cousin-lovers in a barn

mud upon their boots


mud upon their boots

hoots within a hooded wood

mars is on the march


mars is on the march

starlings on a starry night

snarling at the dark


snarling at the dark

barons bark & bishops bash

sweetly in their sleep


sweetly in their sleep

as the badger cabaret

borders on risqué


borders on risqué

warbles on a wonky breeze

witches in a ditch


witches in a ditch

staring in the glaring at

windmill wizardry

...
