” come on you slags “
( richard d. james )
…
rise from the east
like oriental dough
blow your backendish
breezes with aplomb
bomb us with conkers
& slates from the rooftops
make it rain toadstools
bring us pins & needles
spook us all rigid
with your ghost legends
of headless librarians
& spectral stamp collectors
a phantom flying scotsman
haunts your hornby train set
sing in the mist
go fog yourself
build your bloody bonfire
steal the leafen daydreams
die in the west
like an occidental swan
as per your contract
your storylines & bumf
gone by november
– so we haven’t got all month
…

the cobweb browsers – missing in the mist
antlers & deck chair – ’tis the rutting season song
william the conker – err in a bog
the cloudberry pickers – ode to a toadstool sample
m.c lichen – there’s a stoat in me throat
d.j pumpkin soup – ghouls in cagoules
the chestnut gatherers – cocoa me rigid
the welly brigade – pikelet friday
gorillas in the mizzle – monkeypox massacre
the haunted orchard orchestra – jackdaw variations
