sing a song upon a hill

~

sing a song upon a hill  (  a  p o e m z  )




horus soars as hoverfly

flutter above butterfly

buttercups & eagles eye

sky above the granite mill


sibyls spin as insects crown

ants as king in little town

glistens in a tinsel gown

pissing down on jack & jill


hera cheers as bumble's bee

sups on heather's nectar tea

nipples nip & red the knee

as the badger breezes chill


sulis suns as shepherds nap

sherpas twerp & adders scrap

in the ferns with dragonsnaps

flapping as a daffodil


shiva sheets as jesus sails

in the clouds & shrouds the dales

shiver sheens the tails of snails

whales in vales & green's the krill


odin crows as edges tor

speckles on a freckled moor

circles turn & vistas snore

sing a song upon a hill

heads fucked the band

~

heads fucked the band  (  a  m u s i c a l  t a i l  )




heads fucked the band

& heads got lice

mistresses & shops

but in the bellend

space


shoulders shat the band

then tailed-off into pads

that's that


knees peed the band

then teamed up with them bees

the breast is histamine

& knobbles in the breeze


so toes went solo

& got a job & bar

& thought of songs of yon

then twinkled

as a star

cucumber sandwiches

cucumber sandwiches  (  a  r h y m e  z  )




whistles of nipples

& ripples of radishes

salmon are crooning

of cucumber sandwiches


mist on the vista

& ladders in languages

tights on a tiger

& cider in challices


pandas in panzers

& badgers in bandages

swooping in stukas

at camels in carriages


sing is the sister

of chatter in chaffinches

shrews on a shroomner

as brassica cabbages

...





















































































 

on a pebble

on a pebble  (  2 1 s t  c e n t u r y  b o l l o c k s  )




in the middle

of a fiddle

string along

a runner bean


up a pillock

piffle hillock

jack & jillock

vista-haze


as a roman

in the open

pages of a

magazine


down the dungeon

of a sunken

sailor-jailor

onion daze


as an apple

pip & paddle

bobbing on a

scree of green


'round the corner

from the border

of a dowser's

waterways


out the utter

of a nutter

tapping on a

tangerine*


on a pebble

in the speckle

of the yawning

dawning rays
