madrigal stuff


They sang of the many elbows of Love

all 11 thousand & VII 

point 8,

they sang of the Duckworth Lewis Method

& the 1 giant conjoined eyebrow

of Hate.





They sang of the phosphorous nostrils of War

which have been kickin' off

since pre-Days-of-Yore,

they sang of the Skylark & the Sand Martin

& of Charity-Shop-Shop-Lifting

harsh but bargains.





The sang of Daydreams then Rainbows;

variegation magic

& those moments when the brain

goes,

they sang of Metamorphosis - a chrysalis,

the fibs of Sisyphus

& Great Uncle Syphilis.





They sang of the Badger & THE HOLY GRAIL,

eye of Newt

plus the Pony tail,

they sang of Beige-Death

with its puce, relentless fangs

yet the days they're getting lighter

Fuck-Shiter

- they sang,

they sang

...



















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

?

hobbyist apocalypse

 

  • The Campanologists decided
  • to end with a clang
    
    defy the essence of time
    
    in chimey unison rang.
    
    
    
    
    
    The Philatelists pored & ogled through
    
    their Stanley Gibbons books
    
    whilst licking the front of their favourites
    
    & shedding tears - with final goodbye looks.
    
    
    
    
    
    The Ikebanists they seemed to
    
    at last lose their powers
    
    so now devoid of their Dark-Witchcraft
    
    unarranged lovely flowers.
    
    
    
    
    
    Plus the poet-lot simply wrote on
    
    as all shit crumbled & evil winds blew
    
    oceans drowned & mountain ranges tumbled
    
    but their stray words dreamed
    
    of dawns anew
    
    ...
