a little bird told me

a little bird told me

every evening roost

eat plenty of berries

& wear a pair of jackboots


a little bird told me

grow a cheeky little tache

in springtime find a mate

take the sudetenland back


a little bird told me

wash your feathers in a puddle

watch yourself around them cats

write a book about your struggle


& a little bird told me

every morning sing

oh & comb a side-parting

as per said bird's right wing

...








 

hum man being

 



as the hedgehog has its quills

& the serpent its forked tongue

i am hum man being

cognito ergo hum

with no miming or instruments

no beating of drums

i am hum man being

there's no place like hum

as the garden has its sweet peas

the greengrocer has its plums

i am hum man being

the best is yet to hum

so come piss shit winter gale

aye come wanker summer sun

   i am hum man being 

  i am a man that hums

 ...
