a snappy haiku ( ukiah yppans a )

…

two alligators

in matching suits & shoes too

running for the train

number two ( owt rebmun )

…

the quantum quack
of one little duck

is albarn’s woo-hoo
in a pair of goody shoes

where half of zero
or peas in a pea pod

if pennies or cents
are rubbing together

then double is nothing
ballerina desmond

cyphers crackle
turtle doves sing

tango takes
helium’s place

echoing back
like a magic mallard

blake realises
the old man is a thistle

twinned with mirror’s
like duality’s digit

geminis measure
the thickness of short planks

as a bactrian hump
is fibonacci’s dump

the continuing adventures of betty swollocks ( skcollows ytteb fo serutnevda gniunitnoc eht )

…

now’s the toast of roasting nuts
trousers whiffing more than guts

walking on a browning lea
formerly a shade of pea

dreaming of the gift of rain
bursting on a thirsting plain

droplets dripping from the bonce
sweating like an effing nonce

hunter group on telegram
knot a clue – the heavens slam

when the blue’s a hue of hell
wickets still – a stinking bell

wash again yet still she calls
singing songs of sodden balls

under heaving heaps of sky
she beneath is back in i

dog this ( siht god )

…

dogwood tree
beg for a biscuit

doggerel verse smith
pee up a lamp post

dog eared scribbles
– go to your bed

doghouse builder
growling at the postman

dogfish mongers
chasing squirrels in the park

dog days of summer
come here & sit

salty sea dog
jump for your ball

dog star rising
fetch me my slippers

& the last poet
on that night
had nits

as the bright lights flickered
& the microphone cracked

& the last poet
on that night
had nits

when the full moon bloomed
then a dead duck quacked

& the last poet
on that night
had nits

ruffles on their scalp
where the parasites attacked

& the last poet
on that night
had nits

scratching along
with the head lice act
