oh, scarecrows

oh, scarecrows ( 12 lines of amateur scrawl )




summer's snowmen, winter's patches

either mixes - neither matches

secret blinkers, sea-deep thinkers

staring scary - hairy thatches


pumkin bumpkins, rustic people

sometimes charming - mainly evil

herring red ploys, cheeky decoys

'neath a broad sky - life is peaceful


timeless styling, sleepy shirkers

muddy buggers, crop preservers

silent sentries, time aplenty

bird disturbers - stop the murder

...





















 

toast etc.

~

toast etc. ( a poem for peas throughout the world … )



the toast is well

the well is a wish

the wish is bone

the bone is a fish

the fish is gold

the gold is a pot

the pot is luck

a dead lucky shot


the shot is glass

the glass is an eye

the eye is blue

in fact it's the sky

the sky is pie

the pie is a hole

the hole is mouse

it's a mousy mole


the mole is leak

the leak is a spring

the spring's onion

the onion's a ring

the ring is hum

the hum is a drum

so on we march

buh-duh-duh-dum-dum


the dum is smart

the smart is a phone

the phone's a book

to worm's it's a home

the home is haunt

the haunt is a ghost

alive & well

but this poem's toast

a soft boiled egg

a soft boiled egg ( some o’ that )




life's a soft boiled egg when

there's monkeys in our mumbles

love is bubblewrap as

there's jungles in our jumbles

hopes are toothpaste stain then

yet apples in our crumbles

sing of custard dreams so

i s'ppose we mustn't grumble
