for absent poltergeists

 

in the absence of

my poltergeist

who used to keep me

 up with fright

quite terrified

since gone all shy

i gave it a go

haunt d.i.y


so banged a wall

then smashed a plate

then had a nap

a good 'un - great

it's not the same

i miss you now

sweet poltergeist

dear ghostly thou

hum man being

 



as the hedgehog has its quills

& the serpent its forked tongue

i am hum man being

cognito ergo hum

with no miming or instruments

no beating of drums

i am hum man being

there's no place like hum

as the garden has its sweet peas

the greengrocer has its plums

i am hum man being

the best is yet to hum

so come piss shit winter gale

aye come wanker summer sun

   i am hum man being 

  i am a man that hums
