today the sun went orange

Today

the Sun went orange

& none of the guessperts

know why

but nonetheless 

there it sits

all massive

like its citrus-based coloursake

shining in the sky.





Maybe

it's fake-tan or fence preserver

or it wants to go marching

with William's fan club

in July

- twinkle - thinkle -

the child prodigies 

they wonder

as today the Sun went orange

& none of the guessperts

know why

?

...



have you seen my unicorn?



I don't suppose you've seen my Unicorn

?

I've been searching high

 then low,

I tethered him outside my

local Happy Shopper

- oh I wonder where the tosser could go

?





Is he in the library

studying Cuneiform

?

I've scanned as far as my eyes can see,

maybe it's poachers

or invisibility

as upon his horn is now worn

the ring of Gyges

?

shaturday



Infuriated by cross stitchers, lark twitchers

& harp pickers.





Genocide, the M25,

that wicked bee hive

& the stench on Fly-Tip Drive.





Then shafted by the MINING INDUSTRY, a minor celebrity,

~ that shat brevity ~ ,

a distinct lack of levity

& non-longevity.





Artistic gymnasts, Benedictine skin flaps,

holes in Poundland bin bags

plus the pun had run away

- you bastard Shaturday
