balls ( some balls-verse )



balls, balls

it's all just balls

oh slimy crystals

yards & walls

balls, balls

leather on cork

& twats called jack

they're in your court


balls, balls

a bouncy spell

rubber, pig bladder

fucking hell

( yes )

balls, balls

& cheesy smells

so probably

bollocks as well

keeping time

keeping time ( a precautionary tale )




i like to keep a spare afternoon

in my pocket

next to them keys

which i always need


& a pleasant evening

around my neck

kept in a locket

( only to be opened

during emergencies )

...























the land of sheep

~

the land of sheep ( some shite )



this is the land of sheep - 'tis true

this is the land of rams & ewes

each blurry spring as birds they sing

the population mushroom-booms


this is the land of sheepish folk

bashful shepherds asleep neath oaks

in pastures green ( sometimes serene )

as wolves in woollen clothes encroach

...










































 

on the sheet

~

on the sheet ( some sheet )



we're on the sheet

yes as we do

once more unto

a sheet or two

a sneeze - achoo

a squeeky shoe

good morning all

good evening you


bring me my ink

my shitty pens

& special lens

for hidden gems

please some of them

aye know thy sen

we're on the sheet

again

( the end )

...

























( author notes )

in case you were unaware

sen means self,

nice 1 



 

breadcrumb trails

breadcrumb trails ( some ?-verse )


i've been following breadcrumb trails

along yon rivers in them dales

for years & counting - through time's mist

oh mystery - your tail tells tales


or so folk say yet here no luck

in lieu of clues i'm quackin' up

the trail's gone stale, my shape it shifts

so now - oh fuck

i am a duck

crackin’ in

~

crackin’ in ( coz rhymes can be free too )


crackin' up?

crackin' in

tentacles

pack it in


kraken yous

natterjack

bubblewrap

cul-de-sacs


toad on road

air pockets

soothsayers

eye sockets


portents here

bubble burst

stub a toe

ow - that hurts


~


phone a friend?

make one up

be a bee

sup, sup, sup


wear a face

don a gown

i've seen her

around town


vanishings

stroke an ear

candlemas

disappear


turnip wars

piffle vest

sandwiches

( bless this mess )

crafted by hand

~

crafted by hand ( some truths & out the other one )




all of these poems

are crafted by hand

no fancy machines

as it's art - isan


but just who is anne?

you misunderstand

no robotic prods

just shat pen - that's grand


as birds boss the skies

as sheep graze the land

one scribbles on sheets

shit riddles of man


it's bespoke ( of course )

all part of the plan

so don't knock this wank

'twas crafted by hand
