deer lord jesus  (  a  t r u e  s t o r y  )

…




deer lord jesus, peers with earwigs

over peepers, licking lizards


licking lizards - crow with roses

flea the weevils - weave the rubble's


weave the rubble's rats & weasels

dirt from thirteen, sputnik sputum


sputnik sputum, pigs in blankets

rum the raffle - plucking wankers


plucking wankers, tihs & witches

eve 'em, shoe it - ring in dingles


ring in dingles with the badgers

bears & hornets, ants with antlers


ants with antlers, trees & creepers

hare bee fore us - deer lord jesus

badger, hike & seek

~

badger, hike & seek  (  a  p o e m  )

…




in the thicket of a copse

as a phantom fucks a fox

& a chaffinch chatters chaff

natters of the beak


on the pasture's adder grass

as the cirrus stratus pass

up above but check y'step

peg a leg & screak


up a scramble as a breeze

sings a song of jangled keys

carrot sticks & rabbit shit

brambles on a peak


in the river as the sprat

battles with the stickleback

then the feathered fisher king

swishes in a streak


on the cobbles of a lane

wobble on in coddled rain

waddle with the rubber ducks

as the gutters leak


grab a mac & pack a bag

saddle wax & flap with bats

warble in y'boots & mooch

badger, hike & seek

...

aardvark baritones  (  i t ‘ s  a l l  j u s t  o n e  b i g  f u c k  o f f  . . .  s s h h h  )

…




aardvark baritones

avocado saxophones

tin a flute of newt


catnip clarinets

soft enamel badger sweats

vicars in a twist


howl owl brussel sprouts

cabbages & muffled shouts

bat & flap a toot


moo blue unicorns

spew a tune in cuneiform

shakers rake a fist


bandstand adder breaks

alan, eve & dancing snakes

plucking fucking fruit


hum drum double bass

sticklebacks & mackerel sprats

as the lizards list


shit this, fiddle pie

as the river glimmers ' bye '

scribble i - on lute


baa la reverie

noggin on the feathery

marching in the mist

mrs worthington is calling

mrs worthington is calling  (  r o c k  on  2 0 1 8  )

…




as i shat among the cabbage

& a porpoise pods a pea

mrs worthington is calling

with her spectred reverie


in the sneezes of the breezes

& the mumbles of a bee

as an organ grinds a gibbon

& a dustman chimes in key


tiperary's palms are hairy

on the prom beside the sea

mr porter had eight daughters

every one was a henry


then we bicycle a chorus

aspidistras dwarf a tree

in the marbles of the garden

when y'old music hall - haunts me

...

then september sonnets

then september sonnets  (  a  p o e m  )

…



balls upon the spawning

barristers are courting

phantom horses snorting

canter, clip & clop


pheasants peck the welkin

witches grin as spells sing

chapels flap as bells ring

badgers black a bop


crabs are storming forward

apples haunt the orchard

pears & hares are cornered

as the forests flop


& the woodland wobbles

as the weasels waffle

ships at sea in bottles

seasons scheme & swap


sod it, quips the noggin

yonder bobs a robin

snails upon a coffin

face the grey & hop


chickens pecking linguists

rumplestiltskin tin-ribs

helicopter english

chipper chip & chop


then september sonnets

from a mizzled forest

( sort of wood or coppice )

drizzle drip & drop


crows above in circles

sheep are fleeced in thermals

as the summer curdles

so the weasels pop

( fin )
