hat query ( lines inspired by an old music hall banger-tune-anthem-tune )




where did you get that hat

that pairs well with your threads

( ? )

from some bloody battlefield

prized from some dead sod's head

( ? )

an heirloom or whitsun gift

it sits so proud atop

( ? )

did it just appear one day

( ? )


- i bought it in a shop -

confused december ( 1 min read )




ambling down this country lane

dog beside us - sun above

nothing much is on the brain

just sundries, their like & such


on a day that thinks its spring

quite unseasonal ado

pheasants strut - rabbits fucking

december is well-confused


catkins, blossom, new lambs - lo

puzzling - is this a trick?

shat knows just go with the flow

happy easter - all that shit


but seasons are fickle sorts

now's winter lest we forget

the next wind could freeze us all

so don't count them chickens yet

ramif … ( a poem-free-free-poem )





horned or not they'll charge at you

they'll headbutt - boss it - buck


woollened backs can reach the sky

so pray for lady luck


( aye )


be that village villain

meddle with the ways of man


have truck with all truckers

but don't fuck with them rams

( hangover poem ) by 18 lines of ‘ing read



in the beginning

there was sober

now bells knell

dogs piss on clover


damn you shandy

your hangover

above my

( head )

there shats a plover


a quiet drink

became bender

gay hunchbacks?

i don't remember


phuket - thought i then

it's december

i now sweat
