lick the chin of sunday  (  a  p o e m  f o r  w h a t  i t ‘ s  w o r t h  e t  a l  )

…





clasp a rasp of catchphrase

raspberries & ashtrays

tundra in the jungle

stumble on & that way


crab a path of sideways

apple pips & byways

fleeting as the evenings

greetings to the highways


wail a wall of doorways

possibly & always

bird a word of shat flaps

tracks upon the railways


dodge the bounce of replays

rabid bats & clichés

flop between the dot-dots

spot the cows as sheep graze


swoop the droop of boquets

muddy boots & tuesdays

ease within the easels

weasels in the wank maze


kiss the tip of edgeways

any which & lengthways

wobbles in the black pit

badger shit the essays


irk the scourge of surveys

unicorns & thursays

answers in a milk churn

burn the straw to make hay


lick the chin of sundays

chickenpox & sun rays

bobbles in the odd socks

plods beyond the dog days

...

sofa sales & lanky ladders

yeoman ales for patchy bladders

quaking quails with pickled feathers

burn the post to open letters


pantomimes & stagnant staggers

scraps of rhymes for bastard badgers

thunder thumps in jumpy sweaters

lemon thyme to twine the weather


crumble crumbs & bumble swaggers

thimble thumbs for humble matters

stumbles come in double-deckers

hue the glue with tints of heather


dusty pangs & rusty hammers

raspy bangs on crafty crackers

span the spin of restless never

cheese the breeze & dream in cheddar

...

i wail at walls when fungi spores

& spot the mess of bugger all

i wipe my eyes of residue

then meet with i - we rendezvous


i dodge the shots of cannonballs

& bask in peas then caterwaul

i sing of glue & buckled shoes

then shit & you & chuckle through


i peep at blinds when curtains call

& run a bath when evenings crawl

i pinch a pew & loosen screws

then plod my tod down avenues


i deck the bread to duck the halls

& quack my back when water falls

i wave at prunes & graveyard yews

then get punch drunk & steal the moon
