cutlery ( a poem )

…

all my knife i've been a spoon

i've stirred sweet tea & supped hot soup

i've seen great mains & puddings too

so who the fork

are you

?

noodles ooze from our noddles ( a contemporary )

…

insects, sticks, twigs & twaddle

dead leaves crunch - on we toddle

what the duck? so we waddle

who are we?

pigeons squabble


holograms, hobs in hovels

faerie folk read our novels

puppets pull at our toggles

noodles ooze

from our noddles


peaking troughs, tops & topples

whooping coughs, bellends nobble

thorax this - bears in goggles

on the ales

on them cobbles


bugger all always boggles

landy ahoy! in a bottle

dutch mills spin, belgians waffle

try it too

it's a doddle

shoe-be-do  (  a  c o n t e m p o r a r y  )

…

mind the skies or you'll feel blue

keep half an eye on your shoes

shift a shuffle - shoe-be-do

leaf a rustle, leave no clues


write a letter everyday

as tongues wag & branches sway

as heels squeak & almost say

dearest red, i'm somewhat grey


hide a lemon from the sun

with a crayon draw a gun

observe mad hares on the run

blow your nose for kingdom come


ride a white harpie or six

pick up sticks - swim in the styx

wear no laces lest you slip

eat your greens or you'll feel sick
