compliments

to your condiments

i'm astonished

this is quite the accomp-lishment


you have confidence

with your condiments

many mustards, mayonnaises, chutneys

competence


all the sauces - for the courses

from bog-standard

to the pinnacle

of opulence


yes compliments

to your condiments

but they need food dick'ead

what's f' lunch

i am inflatable man

i am an inflatable man

yes - just like a tyre or a chair

or sort-of dinghy

thingamijiggy

so just pump us up with some air


we stick like glue to our own kind

aye - my wife is a blow-up doll

our children: balloons

with faces like moons

but we too have hearts, minds & souls


these things aint debatable man

oh no - so don't be so stroppy

sometimes i'm punctured

there's a hole somewhere

then i wilt & go all floppy


i am an inflatable man

yet nevertheless i'm a man

we're just like you but

struggle in high winds

so please accept us if you can

good morning?

dunno yet

it's early

i'm well-slept


the sunshine

is present

the air here

is clement


it should be

it could turn

with dark clouds

then things burn


then mayhem

& end times

a maybe

'should be fine

i’ve got loadsa poemz by 34.7 second read ( tops mate, tops )

…


i've got loadsa poemz

but they're just titles

awaiting verses

( just ) waiting for words

to spring forth like springed things

out from the ether

maybe the other

a sudden burst


i can't be arsed now &

i did the first bit

come on ye muses

don't be so shy

pull your fingers out loves

or it aint teamwork

or does the word team

now have

an i

night time not day ( this poem is dedicated to a monument )

night time

not day

bats flap

cats stray

deep sleeps

ash trays

t.v

duvets


chapters

whisky

willows

wispy

jim jams

frisky

home time

miss me?


night time

moon-based

faster

slow-paced

you choose

two-faced

janus

snails race


slippers

cocoa

clubbers

go go

seal pups?

oh no

then dawn

( cock crows )
