simple mathematics

(  s o m e  s i m p l e  s t u f f  )


well eight hundred

& forty five

point five two three

times sixty nine

plus whitsun eve

divided by

the total sum

of easter's sines



then triangles

but never straight

as disturbed owls

they congregate

times five point two

point six pi eight

a wishing well

& your mum's face



as three french hens

clang brassy bells

& nowt point nowt

shouts not a yell

equals a tale

one cannot tell

i'm thankful that

there is no hell

...


























the stream

~

the stream ( some thoughts in  v e r s e  )




sometimes it creeps

sometimes it flows

great gushes then

then the mind goes


in torrents or

gently down stream

merrily? yes

life's but a dream


sometimes it flows

back in reverse

confounding some

( a gift or curse? )


sometimes it stops

sometimes it's dry

the gods must know

we don't know why

the modern age ate my hamster …

the modern age ate my hamster … ( some contemporary shite )




the modern age ate my hamster

so consumed with whats & whys - the like

i climbed



up mam tor dressed as an onion

in the hope that there some answers

i would find



as tears drip dropped on my costume

i cursed the needless hamster greed

of time



then remembered that there was no hamster

'twas a figment

of my modern

wanker mind

foraging as we go

foraging as we go ( a true of a story in a of rhymez-formz )




'twas a february morn

there on our way to the shop

on a bog roll mission

when the dog & i did stop


our noses alerted

oui - a french scent filled the air

allium ursinum

yeah - the garlic of the bear


aye, the first of the year

new leaves barely more than shoots

so i picked it for soup

so then i'll be vampire-proof


then we left londis-bound

so that i can wipe my shite

knowing spring's on its way

knowing things are looking bright


( the end )

pipeline poem ( public service castbroading )




in the pipeline & pending


there's a chorus of penguins


a bonnie prince pretending


mad march hares are contending


as the shepherds are tending


runcible spoons are bending


in the pipeline & pending


so fret not there's


no ending
