the dog’s buccolics

Back in the green

a true pastoral scene,

an external chapel

a wish in Winter's dream

...


Be it meadow, peak or bracken

wherever chance & stuff may happen,

the splendour shall possess & gently caress

you shall be taken abacken

...


By the ambrosial leaves & part-time bees

the enchanting beauty, oh so serene,

but when it then gets too much & you've now had enough

just insert sumit like: Fuckin' obscene 

...



easily in the top 7

Sunday,

Sunday,

a walk up as hill

a time for climb & chill,

good view snooze

Sunday,

Sunday,

today is God’s day off

which encourages lazy sods,

he started it

 Sunday,

Sunday,

like Saturday but on Valium

a gentle deadening of the pallium,

pre-Mond’ fix

Oh Sunday,

Sunday,

you quiet bland fizzly peak

your beige shades are quite unique,

please come back in a week

whim change

 

The whim changed direction

 without a single objection,

nor sole interjection

or mournful string section

& I followed suit

without refute or dispute,

another care-free pursuit

we might be en route

If not, it’s still a detour

there might be swings & slides plus see saw,

which easily shits on free fall

but will we remember what we saw

?

The whim changed because it could

as I suspected whim possibly would,

& no one tried to stop or trap it

maybe on a whim though

-they probably should

?

dark nature?

My other magpie

is actually a weapon,

& my other cuddly kitten

is bursting with venom

My other amoeba 

is fucking humongous,

my other symbiotic best mate

is a parasitic fungus

My other dear seal pup

craves human flesh,

& my other elephant

fearlessly stamps on mice

my other, my other

but not me

I’m nice

sheep shanty

Let’s up the ante

& sing a sheep shanty,

& celebrate the wooly residents of this land

the ewes, the rams, the tegs, the lambs

We’ll tell of former flocks

& crofts & licks & troughs,

thus glorifying the ovinely amazing

the never complaining them, steadfastly grazing

Yes, let’s up the ante

& sing a sheep shanty,

as other folk might join in, having travelled from afar

– by the way, there’s only 1 lyric & it’s ‘baa’
