( … squiffy elbows … )  (  a  p o e m z  )



bunion pickled semaphore

portal snorting tidal boar

serpent laddered stalactite

thunder flagging underscore


sizzle scissored sceptred tor

lemon scented leopard paw

dagger dancing candlelight

jigger jackal apple core


summer sputtered hellebore

magnet mangled fungi spore

plastic parrot parasiste

peasant pageant hamster roar


scrambled omelette overture

mustard gasping guarantor

jagged jawline jacobite

trojan horsefly saddle sore


pissing spelling sycamore

dripping ivy eyen ore

mitten knitted stalagmites

heckle silent forest floor


shimmer riddle discant shore

river ducking eider or

custard camel candlelight

clutter clutcher clucker straw


monkey island dinosaur

hermit burning herbivore

babble blighted acolyte

chocolate teapot labrodor


onion dicing drooping door

eagle swooping icy war

accidental satellite

every twat's a troubadour

deer lord jesus, peers with earwigs

badger, hike & seek

~

badger, hike & seek  (  a  p o e m  )




in the thicket of a copse

as a phantom fucks a fox

& a chaffinch chatters chaff

natters of the beak


on the pasture's adder grass

as the cirrus stratus pass

up above but check y'step

peg a leg & screak


up a scramble as a breeze

sings a song of jangled keys

carrot sticks & rabbit shit

brambles on a peak


in the river as the sprat

battles with the stickleback

then the feathered fisher king

swishes in a streak


on the cobbles of a lane

wobble on in coddled rain

waddle with the rubber ducks

as the gutters leak


grab a mac & pack a bag

saddle wax & flap with bats

warble in y'boots & mooch

badger, hike & seek

...

aardvark baritones  (  i t ‘ s  a l l  j u s t  o n e  b i g  f u c k  o f f  . . .  s s h h h  )




aardvark baritones

avocado saxophones

tin a flute of newt


catnip clarinets

soft enamel badger sweats

vicars in a twist


howl owl brussel sprouts

cabbages & muffled shouts

bat & flap a toot


moo blue unicorns

spew a tune in cuneiform

shakers rake a fist


bandstand adder breaks

alan, eve & dancing snakes

plucking fucking fruit


hum drum double bass

sticklebacks & mackerel sprats

as the lizards list


shit this, fiddle pie

as the river glimmers ' bye '

scribble i - on lute


baa la reverie

noggin on the feathery

marching in the mist

mrs worthington is calling  (  r o c k  on  2 0 1 8  )




as i shat among the cabbage

& a porpoise pods a pea

mrs worthington is calling

with her spectred reverie


in the sneezes of the breezes

& the mumbles of a bee

as an organ grinds a gibbon

& a dustman chimes in key


tiperary's palms are hairy

on the prom beside the sea

mr porter had eight daughters

every one was a henry


then we bicycle a chorus

aspidistras dwarf a tree

in the marbles of the garden

when y'old music hall - haunts me

...
