let’s ruminate ( a 20 line read )
…
let's ruminate - us thoughtful cows
on big questions - the whats? the hows?
like do these spots make us look fat?
or what came first
that field or plough?
the nature of the mooniverse
when we go dry is this a curse?
was velcro made by aliens?
who made this earth
our sacred turf?
on which we graze through bovine days
b.s.e free yet slightly crazed
when we lie down do we make rain?
we're wonder-struck
& awe-amazed
we're lost for answers, this is true
udderly puzzled - giz a clue
we're flummoxed plus the kitchen sink
as cowpats splat
& bullshit too

new wellington boots ( a poem fit for a duke in a duffel coat )

hark - the fields are alive many squelches below heavy rain's sodden toll as folk go to & fro yes them ducks have done well chocolate caked is the land there is mud upon mud but it stops not my plans as i stride without pride lest i slip & then fall 'stead a spring in my steps like the bouncing of balls as that sun-thing comes out then shines on yon green shoots my feet keep bone-dry in - new wellington boots - ...

scratching the ditch
which ditch is which?
live in the ditch
folk of the ditch
jump in the ditch
live in the ditch
itch in the ditch
fields beyond this
folk of the ditch
parsnips & twitch
tension mid-pitch
itch in the ditch
scratching the ditch
which ditch is which?
witchcraft is this
takin' the piss
