A Poetical Warning
All too oft’
like a bat-saturated loft,
poetry
can contain
the following………
…
Nuts, dust
& latex gloves.
–
Flash photography
with loads of strobes.
–
Italics, nasty prangs
& sudden-BANGS!
–
Bad language indeed
when there’s no shit fuckin’ need.
–
Half a shandy & an Aspirin,
I know a mate
who knows a goat
who has a cousin if you’re askin’…
–
Plus some other stuff that’s vague
& the bubonic plague.
Enjoy…
List of Demands
1.
I want to be ambiguous
like Julius Caesar
playing Monopoly
with an octopus
on a Berocca comedown
– but that’s ridiculous.
2.
I want to write free verse
but all too often it evades me,
oh well – it’s not a poem unless it rhymes
& at least then I’m not that lazy.
& 3.
I want apathy
but any time’s fine with me.
All that stuff...
Up The Proverbial
1. The Isle of Man is an island. Atlas Fact.
2. Fortune favours the jammy, the spawny & cheats.
3. Marry a snake, sur pent at leisure.
4. A friend in Neath is a friend in Wales... (classico)
5. Out of sight-bollocks! Where's it gone?
6. When the going gets tough fake an asthma attack...Or fit.
7. Practice makes smug gits & dull, even times.
8. He who laughs last is a bit of a div...Or, more echo prone.
9. Most roads don't lead to Rome (& most canal tow paths)
& 10. A bird in the hand should be back in its bush...
