about folk ( a short poetical sprawl by some scroat on a shite laptop )




well we can tell a lot about folk

from the places that they go

the things that they say

& all the things that they know



how do they like their carrots

& the corduroy that they wear

do they shave their palms or

is there still plenty of hair



do they believe in goblins

have they ever killed a man

baked an upside down cake

have they baked a tarte tatin



which lunar phase they worship

but mainly from what they're like

the stuff that they do &

all the fucking shite they write

...

this handwriting ( a poetrys for wedenesday afternoon poem poems  )



this handwriting

an obscured code

a phone-scribble

or doctor's note


( ? )


observations

with time to kill

who to kill next

a spider's will


( ? )


does this pen work?

summed equations

all too human

quite alien


( ? )


a little list

or masterplan

just gibberish


( ? )


( hands understand )

operation poppycock

operation poppycock ( xxiv lines read of poetrys )





yes dare to clash

wear green & red

an offish hat

on obscured head



then don odd socks

striped polka dots

odd oxford shoes

unorthodox



give chicken pox

back to chickens

drink hot malt drinks

on spring mornings



mix acids with

them alkalis

tea with coffee

ooh toffee - nice



celebrate yule

in burry june

the fork's a knife

the knife's a spoon



you rebel you

their rules - who cares?

so fuck 'em all

he who dares

dares

mater nature provides

mater nature provides by crispin dawdles ( 13 read line )



we're foraging for our next meal

out in them wilds

we're frisking fields


for juicy moss or budding shoots

the less known sorts

of nature's fruits


we're foraging - berries 'n' nuts

'edged 'erbs - fungi

aye all that stuff


( why )


twenty quid we found last easter

sat on a stile

- free takeaway pizza -
