why the nuck fot? ( ?tof kcun eht yhw )
…
singing sea shanties
in the east midlands
building snowmen
in the amazon jungle
looking for smiths
in a chinese phone book
playing games of twister
with a goblin – on the moon
living in an igloo
on a solar spot
spoonerising on – yeah
– why the nuck fot?
writing the tripe
of another offal pun
shaving the hair
off a dolphin’s head
russian roulette
with your shadow at noon
all make more sense
than bugger all instead

piss another prelude ( edulerp rehtona ssip )
…
dry before the soak
yonder on – the branches dance
soldiers dip the yolk
carpenters in barking pants
ants retreat below
under boughs – the heifers stall
when the egg is sleep
sky above a wrecking ball
stick around ‘n’ see
where the air’s a shade of glue
nettles spoon the soup
teasels tease a tickled hue
calm before the stork
posts a spring delivery
on a nature walk
free from normal’zzz pillory
greener than a dream
breezes stir the marmalade
climb a mountain ash
call a trowel – a garden spade
sing a salad daze
chase the shapes of shifting shrouds
hit the shitter’s fan
scatter under wazzing clouds

dreams of the past ( tsap eht fo smaerd )
…
the twentieth century
is eating pot noodles
in a shell suit
while the miners strike
the nineteenth century
is reading frankenstein
dressed like jack the ripper
on the flying scotsman
the eighteenth century
is humming bars of mozart
in a river mill town
in a mantua gown
all the former centuries
old but never dead
dozing in a nursing home
between teatime & bed
