dear christmas,

it's mid-august now

& i've just been out walking

when i saw a fat cow

grazing

so i thought of you

up there in xmas-land

scheming as you do


dear christmas,

it's mid-august here

2 thirdsish of the year

has disappeared

so you'll soon be back

with your evil money traps

your bleak commercial shat

fuck off

you festive twat

a brief worry about something (or other)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

a brief worry about something (or other) by anthony histamine

~~~



the clouds are at their blackest

is this the end of times?

dark like money

with its skyscrapered shrines

the cows stand defiantly

as bollocks quells the mind

jesus in a nightie

an inevitable decline


the clouds are at their blackest

will voles take control now?

someone's left their iron on

there's panic in the town

i blame the state

the church & the crown

nah wait - it's just rain

now it's pissin' it down

long-lost uncle ( a muddle )

long-lost uncle ( a muddle ) by john elbows

well i've been searching for my long-lost uncle

who disappeared when i was five

as he owes me a fair bit

in the way of unsent gifts

christmas & birthday shit

so i hope he's still alive



i know that i'm too old nowadays for piggybacks

& i recall he had 2 eyes, a mouth & nose

beyond that's lost to mist

but did he once exist?

often the mind plays tricks

yet on this quest it goes

as it's not pancake day

nah - not today

no shrovetide / nosedive

no lent on its way

i'll dawdle the edgelands

i'll survey their span

with a compass & ruler

but i'll need not my pan

bananas come in handy

~~~~~~~~~~

~~~ ( click me ) ~~~

~~~

the brain's elastic bandy

but bananas come in handy

when the day's seem strange

coz the sun's been on the shandy

& the sky is always high

despite the hills that we climb

& the clouds? well they're just cloudy

which doesn't clear the mind

so i peeled a bent banana

but i peeled it the straight way

which can only always

look a little slightly gay

 next i gobbled from the tip like

with all my mortal might

& then shat went yellow

goodnight vienna, goodnight
