bakewell tartaria ( airatrat llewekab )
…
bakewell tartaria
a frangipan land
with raspberry jam
& flaky butter pastry
the almonds of yore
with rivers of custard
a pudding erased
( as seen in daydreams )
the internet’s abuzz
– of course they still had teatime
during all them mud floods
in the daze of yon
so put the kettle on
& let the steam scream
drool on a stool
& type yourself normalzzz
prod the phantom veil again
flee the cave unchained
smoke another bifter
sing a wanker song
a flan for all seasons
for truthers with sweet tooths
& pubes upon their palms
who think this egg’s a dome
( nob’eads )

( author notes )
this poem is dedicated to the late archbishop desmond tutu
who’s now in heaven with his father, desmond one one
so thoughts & prayers to his wife, mrs. tutu
& their lovely baby boy, desmond three three
– long live the desmonds
