a quilt of onions  (  a  t r u e  s t o r y  )

…

a quilt of onions skinned the sky

that whiffed the breeze & fluffed the fly

that greened the queen & cuffed the sty

that whipped the twig & piled the pi


a flock of thimbles flossed the town

that clocked the frock & tossed the gown

that maimed the dame & dossed the crown

that pegged the head & legged the drown


a purse of adders purred the pea

that preened the dean & fogged the bee

that winds the minds & flogs the tree

that spills the quills that dog the scree


a thatch of brambles bapped the bun

that spanked the wind & panned the nun

that stung the stalk & tongued the nun

that yawned the war & snort the nun


a fence of foxgloves fudged the air

that nudged the witch which smudged the snare

that snowed the crow & poached the fayre

that coughed the broth & fucked the mayor


a star of parsnips stirred the bend

that sparred the guard & slurped the wend

that spat the ant & burped the blend

that danced the plants & shat the end

your guffaw  (  a  t r u e  t a l e  )

…

as plumbers pole & war the saw

& drummers roll & cole the slaw

as silver moons & prunes the snare

& woodland blares & bears the paw


as feathers flap & hat the straw

& zephyrs zap & splash the spore

as spindles spin & loom the hare

& beavers bee & buzz the saw


as jumbles jab & spar the door

& jungles jar & crab the claw

as whispers wolf & woo the where

& patters pane & rain the pour


as islands spy & sea the shore

& highlands dry & see the saw

as squinter squats & spins the fare

i weasel not for your guffaw

splatter clatter clogs

natter badger bladder vox

adder ladder flops


simper cymbal pops

spanner hammer chatter chops

dagger blabber shops


taurus chorus cocks

tatter tavern swagger lops

water daughter clocks


anchor snapper socks

otter totter squatter frocks

scatter tosser slop
