may contain traces of white stag & stoat

crisp winter wobbles & price tag & scroat

piss-drizzled scribbles & frog hops in throats

shim-shuffled duffel & fight-backs in coats


spat with that essence of chickpea & pox

wasps in yon hayloft & strychnine & socks

hops in hum-hobbles & black box & fox

gaps in them cobbles & monk keys in locks


tossed in dripped spittle of hippo & shrew

latex & cobnuts & bamboo & glue

cuckoos & sniffles & werewolf & spew

cucumber, snooker & hot vindaloo


basted in badgers of bakewell & tarts

spaces in faces & brain cells & sparks

snail mail & sniffles & whistles & hark

borage & bristles & dog barks in barks


inked in squid scribbles of cowpat & earth

thicket & cricket & 'owzat? & serf

gleen leaves & easels & weasels & scurf

sheep shit & easter & pizza & turf


fucked in spun spindles of jigsaw & jam

jingles of shingles & diamonds & spam

pundits & puddles & fuddles of man

speaks me - i be - or i think i am

plum crumbles & drums

plum crumbles & drums  (  a  s h i t e k u  i n  s i x  &  5 1 %  n o n s e n s e  )

…





spindle shingle span

shepherds shim in prangs of pan

pin tingles & flan


rubber sputter spun

bubbles burst in spoons of sun

hooligans & nuns


twinkle tingle tram

tinkers damn in scraps of spam

am-dram flaps & ham


utter stutter stun

salad torques in tugs of tongue

warthog wings & guns


nimble jingle jam

brambles sling in springs of lamb

tin whistles & cans


butter nutter bun

puddles plod in drops of run

plum crumbles & drums

...

 

as stoat as stone

as stoat as stone  (  m y  r h y m e s  a r e  o d d e r  t h a n  y o u r s  )

…




as stoat as stone

or otter spew

or pins of pricks

or cockatoos


as march as larch

or marble arch

or timbuktu

in tennis shoes


as speck as peck

or kangaroos

or mustard gas

or kangaroos


as musk as dusk

or badger barks

or werewolf pants

in kathmandu


as shell as egg

or salmon screws

or petrichor

or prussian glue


as stag as legs

or listless larks

or ninja imps

in interludes


as lathe as knave

or caribou

or cannibals

their avenue


as frog as spots

or tiger sharks

four moo eye ooze

& shite the shrew

wake the deaf & sign on

wake the deaf & sign on  (  k i s s  m y  r h y m e z  ,  y  o u  p i l c h a r d  )

…




wake the deaf & sign on

once upon a corkscrew

wizards in the whiplash

blizzards in the fall through


crust the rust of pylons

kid the skid of goat's rue

puddles in the splish splash

bubbles in the home brew


spin the dim of shine on

panda-punch the bamboo

carrots in the mishmash

havoc in the shampoo


span the hands of time bombs

gob the slob of gum spews

rivers in the kick backs

scissors in the kung fu


churn the turn of right ons

fondles in the fondue

manna in the drip drabs

spanners in the cashews


plod the stead of microns

blessings in the achoo

stutters in the slip back

sputters in the statues


can the scams of icons

wanders in the where to

wriggles in the skin rash

fiddles in the hairdo


chase the waves of bygones

vomit in the voodoo

scuffles in the syntax

shuffles in the new shoes

...
