piss off christmas ( my christmas poem )
…
then christmas rears
the dark of the year
glib festive twats
shit festive cheer
so spend spend spend
you're dosh fucking shite

for jesus christ
that mortal fraud
yet there's pagan roots
oft ignored when
it doesn't suit
those bibled scum

their devil itself

wake-up poem

wake-up poem by some pisspot-poet or other
…
begin begin
the opening part
act one scene one
the dawn of start
the cock has crowed
then died on his arse
there is no script
it's shit not art
it's not a song
there aren't any words
the cock? piffle
there are no birds
just make it up
go on - have a splurge
mar blank a4
with bastard verse

about folk

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
...
