Scroodles

free verse

finally at last
one has tospring
one's magnum opes
meian freunds i'll syat cler
a case of pissed up Richard Burton#i've troubles each an av'ry prat
 & I did it sideways
regrrets? i've had fetoo wotsit

 but more mushmoredan dis
i id tit my way

Exterior: Cake Out in Rain

A walk through
MacArthur Park
Turned out
quite contrary to
all popular opinion
which I assiduously
some have said ‘blindly’
follow like a shop
or sometimes a sheep
in a stripy pair of panties

Water Hazard

Picnic? In your dream scenes
(caution:flies & spillages);

raging thirst (wonder why not)
Glot to get out of this plaice

(socks, shoes, & some means of transport?)
Forthcoming events – domestic drudgery,
tease skunk in garden, stir molten corned beef porridge…

Acolytes Contemplate cod
and all its meagre trimmings
swim in myrtle oceans deep

Dunnock patrol sweeps
up the lawn prior to snotty
entrance of the Queen of Sheba

Gormless positivity crowds some punters out
Embed Jasper stone in troubled forehead
Brecciated third eye squints

Mineral deficiency remedy
Fizzes in blue silica
Uncle of the bride makes wind

A virtuous thermal is born
Magic lurks in fits and starts
Fragile as dovecote earrings

Pageboys scatter ricicles on tympani
Jerry built for doom and duplicity
loathsome mother superior stalks our every move

Dove henpecks petrified garden gnome
but then it is Wednesday
after all is said: undone
