the chickens in the yard

the chickens in the yard ( a few ropy lines inspired by the photo )


why living can be hard

but the chickens in the yard

well they don't give a fuck

no - just a peck then a cluck


( yes )


those cowards they don't care

as all's a poultry affair

aye living can be hard

but the chickens in the yard

dilithmofu ( may contain traces of code & ropy verse scrambles )



cats in mudflaps, dogs up trees

alphabets swarm - abc

murky waters - thoughts aint free

( wreckage is drifting )



cheese in holes & voles on heat

9152 - chicken feet

cobwebs, scrolls & ferry tolls

( stirred serpents hissing )



knobbly gnarls, barking trees

odd socks hiding within keys

as glib mirth giggles with glee

( hope it is wishing )



soul harvest fest - muddled sleet

spying glasses, bogged down peat

ankle biters - eat my sheet

( username missing )

that undercoat

~

that undercoat ( a sunday story that’s only 1 day too late )




god planned to paint over

the white cliffs of dover

magnolia - maybe ( ? )

or else sumit mauver ( ? )


or fluorescent tartan ( ? )

as white is quite spartan

that undercoat stayed though

let this true tale hearten

( all )

upon addressing a rumour

~

upon addressing a rumour ( some verse )



dear utter shite

your wagging tongues

your poppycock

phenomenon

oh waspish ways

once i was stung

i felt it then

stop slinging dung



you need to feed

your stinking guts

- the gullible -

on them you must

'tis piffle-wank

no ifs or buts

so fuck yourself

thence suck thy nuts

...




















































balls

~

balls ( some balls-verse )



balls, balls

it's all just balls

oh slimy crystals

yards & walls

balls, balls

leather on cork

& twats called jack

they're in your court


balls, balls

a bouncy spell

rubber, pig bladder

fucking hell

( yes )

balls, balls

& cheesy smells

so probably

bollocks as well

...



































crackin’ in

~

crackin’ in ( coz rhymes can be free too )


crackin' up?

crackin' in

tentacles

pack it in


kraken yous

natterjack

bubblewrap

cul-de-sacs


toad on road

air pockets

soothsayers

eye sockets


portents here

bubble burst

stub a toe

ow - that hurts


~


phone a friend?

make one up

be a bee

sup, sup, sup


wear a face

don a gown

i've seen her

around town


vanishings

stroke an ear

candlemas

disappear


turnip wars

piffle vest

sandwiches

( bless this mess )

crafted by hand

crafted by hand ( some truths & out the other one )




all of these poems

are crafted by hand

no fancy machines

as it's art - isan


but just who is anne?

you misunderstand

no robotic prods

just shat pen - that's grand


as birds boss the skies

as sheep graze the land

one scribbles on sheets

shit riddles of man


it's bespoke ( of course )

all part of the plan

so don't knock this wank

'twas crafted by hand
