this poem was raised by badgers

this poem is agnostic – but fingers crossed

this poem contains nuts & gluten

aspartame & martian d.n.a

this poem quite likes marmite

this poem is not your long lost uncle

this poem is friends with the gingers

& topples down statues on their behalf

this poem has sixteen nipples

seventeen elbows & forty four eyebrows

this poem is not a windmill

a harpy or a harpsichord

this poem is neither a witch doctor

a doctor or a witch

this poem claims to be shower proof

but would probably drown

in a cloudburst

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dog star, dog star

dog star, dog star

jackdaw, jackdaw
jam ‘n’ cabbage sandwiches
black door, black door
skeletons ‘n’ keys
headlight, headlight
haversacks of happenstance
red mite, red mite
buttercups ‘n’ bees
sandpit, sandpit
pheasants on a crescent moon
sanskrit, sanskrit
supernova glue
slo-mo, slo-mo
operation bubblewrap
oboe, oboe
nut the bolting blue
grey day, grey day
unicorns in uniforms
waylay, waylay
little lettuce gem
griffin, griffin
hieroglyphic hierophant
pigeon, pigeon
spitting flemish phlegm
green man, green man
badger bones ‘n’ saxophones
queen anne, queen anne
robbing robin hood
box car, box car
catalytic camouflage
dog star, dog star
barking in a wood
