onions & toenails



learn your own self-myths

know your pungent onions

embellish every blemish

or your ship's surely sunken


grow your own toenails

respect the power of bunion

learn your own self-myths

know your pungent onions

the man who invented sneezing

 

loads of moon ago

lived the man who invented sneezing

he claimed it was an accident

crossed with a fluke

'it just popped out one evening'


he apologised at first

saying 'sorry that's weird shat, that's wrong'

but soon other people

starting sneezing too

- it's funny what things catch on

patience poem


patience

 is listening to the radio

on the off-chance the dj 

will exclusively play

new material by mozart

after centuries away

plus news about the album

& up-coming tour dates

great art can't be rushed

yes - well worth the wait

bits of winter in summer

 

there are bits of winter in summer

the notion's still there - but the cold's lost its hold

all the snowmen have migrated

to the safety of the poles 

yet the ice cream industry - she positively burgeons

in this yin yang existence

where contradictions

rule for certain

when phyllis discovered liquorice tea


when phyllis discovered liquorice tea

she thought 'take that pontefract

you're the one for me

i quite like liquorice - i quite like a brew

but why be an either-beaver

( ? )

this here's the power of two

sorted'

wet paint signs

yes wet paint signs

are a favourite sign of mine

but sometimes they lie

sometimes it's dried


so always dab a fingertip

on the self-proclaimed wet paint

it's the only way to know for sure

if it's wet or if it aint

home thoughts from home

home isn't where the heart is

that's actually the chest

no 

home is where we sleep

or at the very least

rest

home is for our laundry days

& each morning 

a shit

but if it's not ready

just write a shite poem

same thing really

( that's it )

gem in i


not that bothered

but worried about everything

& into everything

yet easily distrac-

did you hear that?

they've not come to get me

i best hide behind the settee

just to be safe like

( sound as a pound )

win a prize


enter a competition

& you might win a prize

chances are you won't

but there's no way

if you don't try


it might be a chicken

that quacks like a duck

'cause someone has to win these things

fingers crossed

good luck

...
