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

…………….

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

~~~

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

this planet's run by banker wankers,

puppet leaders, rothschilds,

turnip farmers, reptiles,

the w.i & the caravan club,

the illuminati,

monster raving loony party,

popular culture / programming,

too nice & happy people

plus very evil weasels

trust me i spend loadsa time online

existence is their edifice

& that's where our power is


take it back
