a friend is strange by  32 lines of rhymes

…

a friend is strange

as blue moonlight

or yellow door

all painted white


then tartan paint

a rusty key

hidden within

a wych elm tree


a tardy book

actual dog ears

or ball lightning

chinese new year


in mid-july

as herons strut

that phantom hand

a head with bumps


not bumpy head

some afternoons

or forks in roads

runcible spoons


those bus spotters

they shun the train

them pyramids

our reptile brain


most freak weather

or odd shaped rocks

the mystery

of missing flocks


no ewes or clues

so round the bend

go fuck knows us

that's why we're friends

...

…

good morning?

dunno yet

it's early

i'm well-slept


the sunshine

is present

the air here

is clement


it should be

it could turn

with dark clouds

then things burn


then mayhem

& end times

a maybe

'should be fine

hey diddle diddle

a wriggle in the squiggle

a dribble in the drizzle

a pickle in the middle


hey diddle diddle

a quibble in the ripple

a sizzle in the fizzle

a piggy in the riddle

( ? )
