weasels keep on popping

weasels keep on popping


yes weasels keep on popping

exploding out-the-blue

yet no one really knows why

for some reason they do


we've tried blaming the weather

each other & ourselves

acts of god or 'terrorists'

but that shit never helps


the science folk are puzzled

they'd answer if they could

the governments says keep calm

but stay away from woods


one blast could rip an ear-off

or kill you if you're old

thems old trad rhymes - they know why

pop goes the weasel

( that's us told )

money thoughts

~

money thoughts ( a brief poetical discharge )



if i think of money

then i think of greed

divisions - divide & rule

struggles - suppressed mouths to feed


spineless wanker bankers

bullshit, death & woe

offer us a fiver though

chances are i won't say no

...
















still egg

~

still egg ( a brief ponder-thing )




this poem is still egg

until out pecks a head

i shall incubate it so

gently sit on this egg


upon a thorny branch

in my metaphored nest

in the bewildered forest

guests - please excuse the mess

...






















you’re history

~

you’re history ( a brief poetical non-paradigm ( essay fragment ) )



your viking moods

your saxon cross

your maypoled frame

& obby oss


your gramophone

y'old pants in ants

glass-mad like charles

the sixth of france


your roman nose

with ears to match

the nose you pict

your adolf tache


your warts & all

they tortured me

sweet dungeoned dear

you're history

no one in particular

no one in particular ( 9 lines o’ rhyme )



it's easy as we are no one

we're no one in particular

no fiddler or cricketer

or sacred cow of literature


the streets are free to wander down

no fans asking for signatures

as fame is not our prisoner

we're no one

in particular

where is arthur?

where is arthur? ( 32 lines of wonder )




where is arthur?

where's he gone?

there asleep 'neath

avalon?



not that arthur

climb a tree

scan as far as

eyes can see



visit ruins

consult ghost

attach missing

notes to posts



ask a wise owl

they might know

cleverer though

are those crows



is he hiding

in our heads?

check cupboards

& under beds



question what is

really real

slippery these

eels we feel



dive in duck ponds

dig the earth

prepare yourself

fear the worst



then the phone rings

saves the day

it's arthur he's

on his way
