a different toothpaste ( a poem )
…
ants in pants & phantoms three
jacobites & raspberries
aunties stuck down lead mine shafts
cowpats, hats & bramble trees

oh, scarecrows ( 12 lines of amateur scrawl )
…
summer's snowmen, winter's patches either mixes - neither matches secret blinkers, sea-deep thinkers staring scary - hairy thatches pumkin bumpkins, rustic people sometimes charming - mainly evil herring red ploys, cheeky decoys 'neath a broad sky - life is peaceful timeless styling, sleepy shirkers muddy buggers, crop preservers silent sentries, time aplenty bird disturbers - stop the murder ...
