21st century twaddle

My left sleeve smells of oniony

yet none of the onions wreak of sleeve

& neither of my big toes are buniony

I can stand quite comfortably

- 15 sugars please.





All roads lead to Prietenegg

not that hungry but I'd like an egg

preferably scrambled 

as the language of the brain

or Humpty Dumpty - post-he-fell-tumbly

- so welcome to our domain

shaturday



Infuriated by cross stitchers, lark twitchers

& harp pickers.





Genocide, the M25,

that wicked bee hive

& the stench on Fly-Tip Drive.





Then shafted by the MINING INDUSTRY, a minor celebrity,

~ that shat brevity ~ ,

a distinct lack of levity

& non-longevity.





Artistic gymnasts, Benedictine skin flaps,

holes in Poundland bin bags

plus the pun had run away

- you bastard Shaturday

...

what we already know…

15% 

hate A over C

& 2/17ths of them lot

would y'know,

blatantly.





Plus in the area of 18/41sts

of these

would tumble-ARRHG-stumble

into the dreaded bracket E

thus excluding superstitions & rogue-erratic Whitsuns

at a roughly constant rate

of fairly 2.8.





Further,

as per pie-charts

Byzantine whispers, vistas

& Skylarks

19.~ Tuesdays

would fail to correlate

inciting potential hill fog & riots

as their stats abominate.





Yet 2/3 of murmurations

are allergic to cress

so why this really kicks-off

shall remain a game of chess

- yes,

here-be-lie the FACT-SHATS

cold, hard 'n' bare

& a Nightingale sang in Berkeley Square

...











terms in contradiction


Poetry is practically invincible

like a tough young Buddhist cat,

a ball-resistant moth

or a warfarin tolerant rat.





As poetry refuses to die

like a relative

- well fortified & remaining unconquerable,

with the keep tower standing proud

its lofty attic in the clouds

but in many ways

it's still very vulnerable

...




the sun is secretly belgian

The Sun is secretly Belgian

but it's never told a soul

like Eddie Merx,

Stella Artois

or the Smurfs

for fear of losing its sway

& control.





As some Sun worshippers

would demmand blood if they found out

& no doubt

switch their allegiences

to the moon (!),

oh the Sun is secretly Belgian

& Jupiter's diabetic

but don't tell a single sausage

or that sun will come for you
