what's funny about farms?
what's funny about about bones?
i grew up on a farm
was that a funny home?
my skeleton beneath
has never-ever spoke
let alone tickled folk
with a funny joke

fuck off ( a p o e m )
…
the ostrich has bolted
your feathers have moulted
your business has folded
your peasants revolted
your park is a wasteland
punctured are your armbands
the penny has dropped &
sunk beneath sinking sands
your attics been rummaged
shat out is your roughage
you're packed in as luggage
good riddance bad rubbish
it's night where your sun shone
pure gravy since you've gone
hands wavy - you've done one
fat ladies sing swansongs

thoughts from a shed ( a t r u e t a i l – o f f )
…
imagine who
invented the trowel
among the pots
thoughts from a shed
in olden times
& next wonder how
folk reacted
yes - what was said
'twas witchcraft then
then mad masses howled
& screamed in fear
bring us his head
( or else her head )
in days far from now
no doubt they burned
until well-dead

your poxy t-shirts ( p o e t r y )

if you were a band
then i'd buy
your albums
then i'd listen - slap along
to your songs
'til me knees hurt
i might go to your gigs
sink a few pints
then have a jig
yet i wouldn't be seen
dead
in your poxy t-shirts
