introducing the bland ( dnalb eht gnicudortni )
…
blah on guitar
sapless on saxophone
banal on bass
drying paint on foghorn
yawn on organ
vanilla with the vocals
singing dead men’s sonnets
sliced white on bongos
& humdrum
( on drums )

easter egregore
autumn roars & all’s the fall
singing bill is dead
singing bill is dead
death is just another dream
deeper than a ditch
deeper than a ditch
sipping on a witches’ brew
blooming like the moon
blooming like the moon
best before the afternoon
may contain almonds
may contain almonds
thigh of newt & badger nuts
spores from outer-space
spores from outer-space
dancing as the dogwood growls
bolt the cottage door
bolt the cottage door
stay until the days say cheese
easter egregore

prodding the skin
of yesterday’s custard
sucking a fisherman’s friend
stuffing me hole
with hot spotted dick
or cold semolina
or frogspawn
burning the toast – on purpose
then spreading on
nob cheese & toe jam
singing a song
of buns in the oven
muffins & sponges
with sweet soggy bottoms
– phwoar

( author notes )
fisherman’s friend is a type of mint
& they taste disgusting

spin between ( neewteb nips )

the deed is dung
underneath an oak tree
see the hanging man
as a greenfinch sang
so, sweet chestnuts
sucked within the drawing room
scribble with a grin
churning like a milky key
sugar is energy
elemental penfriends
ink a spirit tongue
like a speaking sprite
while away from here
peer beyond the duck pond
idle like the bones
of a snoring brontosaurus
blowing with the wind
from a parsnip farmer’s arse
gleaming in the stream
seeking seas of bream
i had a magic dream
& in my dream i saw you
happy on the moon
dancing with baboons

# cheese & pickles
# the clifton suspension bridge
# bring back echoes
# save the tiger bread
# i love what they’ve done with your earlobes
# it’s raining frogs again here
# why are all scarecrows men?
# politics – blah, baa, blah
# beans on toast
# barnard’s star
# the m42
# turnip lives matter
# easter on ekofisk
# i think i’ve just seen a goblin
# christmas is cancelled
# cockerels can lay eggs too
# pebbles in espadrille shoes
# selfies, selfies, selfies
# yes, there’s a chill in the air
# is anyone there… ?
