Domino
Never got going today,
perhaps later on—
an after dinner surge.
Heavy lidded since getting up.
Eat, drink, and masticate—
sleep away a day.
Tuna sandwiches for tea
Fatman sings the blues
Too tired to dream tonight

Mug
turn the heat right down
fling open smutty windows
cobwebs flutter past
before my very eyelashes

Howlin’ Wilf
Shake me up, Judy!
Blood strewn leaden legged Custer
Wanders round bemused

and fight it at your peril.

The jungle in my
head is too dense to
penetrate today.
I must determine
to acclimatize,
then immerse myselves
Enjoy the jungle—

Vilayet
let the sunshine out
deploy facts upon the ground

Knock Out Blow
Had to go to the…

Buggered if i can remember why.
Bloody drain damage playing up again.

Damned post-Pagan heresies
Hereticking time bombers
Like mad things
All over the shop
Some as young as ninety-three

Simon said me once
this is meant to be fun to do!
making things up, writing stories,
seeing whatever happen
my head hangs curtains after wine.
sea monsters ate my U-Boat
couldn’t make it up, could you?
reach out embrace existence
hug that north sea wolf

Got some catch up zeds
Seven up democracy
Come in number eight
Televised debate
Repulsive viewing
Buy none get none free
