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

 ...





 

some winter madness

 



well this shit kicked in

on the night after epiphany

quite possibly

a delayed reaction


great uncle wet wipes dozed

as the moon mooned surreptitiously

yet magnet-esquely

hence the attraction


it was musical in places

 staggered bits of polyphony

confusing them snow fields

with song


plus all the goats went flemish

throughout this wonky mystery

but come the first of april

well

whatever it was had gone


( the end )
