some stuff about the other bit



Snails race

at great pace

practically supersonic

like an Otter

on Berrocca

or Billy Whizz

but actually on it.





Also rivers flow backwards

Bats speak Flemish

Bears shun

all porridge

Blackbirds sleep

it's that half hour of the week

& annoyingly some trees they

fall in forests.





Plus the Gnomes

they compose

Gnome-Poetry

crude garden-based cantons

& Magical stanzas

when unseen - so free

of man

- no peeping

& NO hidden cameras

...






hum a music-thing

Hum a music-thing

upon awakening

as shite daytime

punches y' face;

the Radezky March

or the theme tune from Emmerdale

whatever row rows your boat

- a songbird chirp 

or hurdy-gurdy 'n' bass.





Hum a music-thing

in shit-traffic

& HUGE queues 

& whilst surviving the jostley pavements

in town,

hum a music-thing

then every1 else might join in

until atishoo

atishoo

we all fall down

...




pass it all on…

 Nan used to tell me old Folk Tales

& never-ever-ever-ever

eat your own toenails 

only other peoples'

that internet is evil

the Hun don't like it up 'em

& next door are in league with weasels.





Plus it's only witches

that get chickenpox 

twice

butterflies are too nice

always neat - no ice

& sometimes wolves

are sheep in disguise

never double-cross a morris dancer

- yes, she was wise

...









grab a pew…



Mildly unamused Libran Tree Surgeons,

frenetic Phrenologists,

diabetic Numerologists.





Liquid Petroleum Gasp enthusiasts,

Mesolithic Mendicants,

all Entities great & sentinent.





Including

secret-mitten-knitters,

Visigoth staticians

plus the Venerable Lamashtu

- grab a pew

...










hobbyist apocalypse

 

  • The Campanologists decided
  • to end with a clang
    
    defy the essence of time
    
    in chimey unison rang.
    
    
    
    
    
    The Philatelists pored & ogled through
    
    their Stanley Gibbons books
    
    whilst licking the front of their favourites
    
    & shedding tears - with final goodbye looks.
    
    
    
    
    
    The Ikebanists they seemed to
    
    at last lose their powers
    
    so now devoid of their Dark-Witchcraft
    
    unarranged lovely flowers.
    
    
    
    
    
    Plus the poet-lot simply wrote on
    
    as all shit crumbled & evil winds blew
    
    oceans drowned & mountain ranges tumbled
    
    but their stray words dreamed
    
    of dawns anew
    
    ...
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

have you seen my unicorn?



I don't suppose you've seen my Unicorn

?

I've been searching high

 then low,

I tethered him outside my

local Happy Shopper

- oh I wonder where the tosser could go

?





Is he in the library

studying Cuneiform

?

I've scanned as far as my eyes can see,

maybe it's poachers

or invisibility

as upon his horn is now worn

the ring of Gyges

?
