the dog’s buccolics

Back in the green

a true pastoral scene,

an external chapel

a wish in Winter's dream

...


Be it meadow, peak or bracken

wherever chance & stuff may happen,

the splendour shall possess & gently caress

you shall be taken abacken

...


By the ambrosial leaves & part-time bees

the enchanting beauty, oh so serene,

but when it then gets too much & you've now had enough

just insert sumit like: Fuckin' obscene 

...



easily in the top 7

Sunday,

Sunday,

a walk up as hill

a time for climb & chill,

good view snooze

Sunday,

Sunday,

today is God’s day off

which encourages lazy sods,

he started it

 Sunday,

Sunday,

like Saturday but on Valium

a gentle deadening of the pallium,

pre-Mond’ fix

Oh Sunday,

Sunday,

you quiet bland fizzly peak

your beige shades are quite unique,

please come back in a week

whim change

 

The whim changed direction

 without a single objection,

nor sole interjection

or mournful string section

& I followed suit

without refute or dispute,

another care-free pursuit

we might be en route

If not, it’s still a detour

there might be swings & slides plus see saw,

which easily shits on free fall

but will we remember what we saw

?

The whim changed because it could

as I suspected whim possibly would,

& no one tried to stop or trap it

maybe on a whim though

-they probably should

?

dark nature?

My other magpie

is actually a weapon,

& my other cuddly kitten

is bursting with venom

My other amoeba 

is fucking humongous,

my other symbiotic best mate

is a parasitic fungus

My other dear seal pup

craves human flesh,

& my other elephant

fearlessly stamps on mice

my other, my other

but not me

I’m nice

sheep shanty

Let’s up the ante

& sing a sheep shanty,

& celebrate the wooly residents of this land

the ewes, the rams, the tegs, the lambs

We’ll tell of former flocks

& crofts & licks & troughs,

thus glorifying the ovinely amazing

the never complaining them, steadfastly grazing

Yes, let’s up the ante

& sing a sheep shanty,

as other folk might join in, having travelled from afar

– by the way, there’s only 1 lyric & it’s ‘baa’

the weir & the wonderful

We’re weir peering

we’re peering over our local weir,

& lobbing in sticks

& empty packets of crisps

& watching them dissapear

We’re weir peering

which may seem weird or non-gay queer,

I know it’s not for everyone

but soz, it’s our idea of fun

so there’s need to stare or snear or jeer

As we’re only weir peering

I’d blame the men that built this weir,

many years have come & gone

but their weiry legacy still weirs on,

we’re weir peering

3 cheers for weir

upon re-examining the sleep-phase

A fairly nondescript inanimate object

in a fairly nondescript dream,

to be honest it was quite blurry in places

yet maybe you’ll understand what it all means

There were bits of bits of bits there

& fragments of parts of stuff,

& possibly some other things

but hopefully that’s enough

It was definitely a Wednesday & I met Nessy

& I think I might have heard the Sirens sing,

plus my old Chemistry teacher dressed as a French maid

-cuh! 1 of these nights we’ll be able to record these things
