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

spots ‘n’ specks

spots ‘n’ specks  (  r h y m e s  f r o m  m y  m i n d  )

…



broth in coughs of sputtered pots & wrings of chicken necks

hedge in bets of brambled knots & heads of scrambled legs

glass in cracks of warning shots & swarms of pigeon pecks

weird in beards of stubble cross & flops of fuddled flex


shoe in scuffs of muddled socks & ruffs of ruffled vests

shrew in trews of office blocks & scraps of tattered guess

swill in mills of dental floss & drops of winter sweat

spit in drips of kitten pox & ships of whipping wrecks


bird in flocks of shepherd's frocks & words of fuddled mess

ant in pants of hobbled hops & spats of scumbled flecks

dance in rants of attic rocks & lofts of what the hex

stone in stoats of riddled fox & jerks of jumbled jets


key in curls of golden locks & swirls of treasured chests

tree in twirls of y'olden copse & trips of trickled steps

beam in bumps of stomach flops & streams of stuttered mess

spawn in haunts of water clocks & spurts of spots 'n' specks

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

...
