[thought a strange]

I know this is a strange thought
but
honestly if you ask me
I think Jesus was a chimpanzee

This makes perfect sense
in my perfectly sensible head,
he wasn't tempted by stones
turning into loaves
because as far as I know
monkeys don't eat bread,
I think my Dark Lord & Master
should have offered him bananas instead

It's good to dream...

Pigs

  • This little piggy went to market,
this little piggy stayed at home,
this little piggy 
looked a little looked a little bit like Stephen Gately
so he replaced him
as the 5th member
of Boyzone
(on their reunion tour
run for the moors...)

This little piggy swam with dolphins
& narwhals (both species)
& rode on the back of a giraffe,
this little piggy went back in time
with a joke
& cheered up Sylvia Plath
(briefly)

& this little Piggy moved to Bradford
& got a job working in his local Costco,
he was doing alright for himself
until he bumped into his local serial killer
& then he got done in by a crossbow...

[a poem i found a while ago in a hedgerow]

I found this poem
a while ago
in a hedgerow,
back in September
or so I remember
it might have been August
-definite dawn chorus,
early
but the blackbird always gets up before us
(do they sleep?
alleways...)

As the wagtails wagged above my head
& the hips beside turned ever rosy,
I unfolded said weathered
enchanting A4 sheet
to discover what it said
& to have a proper nosy...'

Brilliant, majestic but what does it mean
?
