definitely a brewing

The bin by the bus stop

wasn't bursting to the brim

& the bakers had a symbolic queue

of 2,

the birds they sang of Spring

then other chirpy feathery things

as last night's rainfall in the river

obeyed the valley - flowed on through.





A Libran nearly sneezed

as the chimneys smoked freely

unblocked by stuck burglars

or dark Satanic soot,

this is conspiracy

the calm before the treachery

the seeds of deceit

shit, something's afoot

...





the gist of things

Twas a stormless night

when the incident with the euphonium

low cloud yet quitish bright

triggered pandemonium. 





The chickens they ran amok

as the church bells sang of the end of the of days

the vicar was touched by a form of shock

like headless poultry - mad cluckers all crazed.





& then it almost rained frogs

as the cries of terror-shit topped  deafening

plus miaows from confused dogs

almost but definitely threatening. 





& so without further ado-ACHOO

in the absence of thunder claps or any last requests

bless you - yes I have the sniffles too

hereby thence sentence you to death

...
