chickens clucked & pigeons cooed farmers aared as pirates oohed florists bloomed & forests greened peasants pecked as pheasants preened onions wept & pipers panned cheeses rolled as breezes fanned rivers ran & traffic crawled otters swam as doctors scrawled nettles stang & bishops bashed kettles sang as rabbits dashed gossips gobbed & curtains twitched butchers hacked as bloggers bitched adders danced & badgers barked buzzards buzzed as finches larked salmon leapt & lemons sucked lepers scratched as pandas fucked islands hopped & lions roared monkeys spanked as fungi spored while you dribbled in your nap & the vicar caught the clap ...

the arm’s afoot ( soahk fo steet eht gniklim )
…
streaming leeks & springing onions
dragons nap in beetle dungeons
bubbles, squeaks & pickled bunions
thunder rumbles under eaves
spitting creaks & twisted rivers
swarms of hornets, curtain twitchers
roman yeoman, village shitters
norman orphans, saxon reeves
bladder rasps & flapping adders
hopping otters, shropshire ladders
missing marbles, hanging daggers
hark - the yarns of weasel's weaves
trees & creepers, eager beavers
swirls of dervish, scraps of aethers
princes, paupers, sauls & peters
battered badgers - thick, as thieves
apple pips & blackened chapels
snots & sonnets - gasps of rabbles
judges slamming wooden gavels
winter wings as autumn leaves
missing parcels, posts & pillars
scraps of shrapnel, shards of mirrors
caterwauling clatterpillars
garden gnomes - with hoes & heaves
jack the ripper's jam & chutneys
mister whippy's magic monkeys
damocles's rubber duckies
reapers of the shim & sheave
squirming worms & cans of peaches
silver service, golden fleeces
purple patches, puzzle pieces
up the creases
of y' sleeves
