Moccasin Stand Off

Ten…Eleven…Twelve.

Prime Minister’s Question Time

Who killed Cock Robin?

My dad’s deader than your dad.

Where have all the flowers gone?

Never in the field of human debris

Will the right honourable mental case…

You put your left leg

In your left leg out in out

Shake it all about

That’s what it’s all about – Oi!

Terminal Velocipede

Coming upon nine.

Something’s happening round here

Burning onions, tincture of molasses,

burning ground, quicklime pits,

call withdrawn enabled,

false razor wire eyelash,

brunette Lillibulero,

crazy gown drape flourish,

staircase winding

round and round

like a teddy

bear hug

Wimpy Bender

Battle of Britain

When hurricanes spitfire

The first of the few

shoplifting Woolworth’s blind

no security cameras

in the seventies

~

Hercules and Apollo eleven

Led me into a life

Of Saturday morning crime

With twenty two pence change

Just enough for glue

A Wimpy Bender

 

Just C

C?

C what?

You left it there

Did I,

can’t remember

here look –

C!

Wakaday!

Dog keen to bursting

Movement yields results

Night gives way to day

Outside it is unraining non stop.

Grabbed about five for Lethe.

Dreams go west with light.

Stop reading everything straight

away with a view to a kill;

always at fives & sevens.

There are other numbers.

Quasimodem

Bangers in th’oven

Eleven o’clock pronto.

Football crowd chants:

He’ll shoot, he’ll score, he’ll eat your

Labrador, bloke next door, bloke next door.’

Sausage sandwich assembled

fearlessly sampled.

Zingy tabasco gobsmack.

Vogeltop bowerbirds strut their stuff.

Lovenest blueprints scrutinised.

Unique seduction points include:

iridescent spiders,

chocolate slugs, ant crispies,

seven flugelhorns,

zinc embossed en suite

Chamber Music hall;

silent moviedrome quintet;

playing incidentally framing caption

awestruck terpsichordal disbelief.

An Enlightened harpsichord.

Greasepaint mascara yard brush.

After birth oven nation.

Cod fish sauce soused

In Tin foil enveloped

Satisfaction guaranteed.

Jezusalem

Adidas feat

Primeval slime

Porcupine elvers saucepan fiend

Attica Smirnov gob

Marzipan slivers preen

Adidas counterfeit design

Nectar sand clumpish sills

Jezusalem quilted scrim

Figfingle’s plenum crescent hand

Blink

Consider unseemly hues

Bric-a-brac

Evening news

Recall it nine eleven

Rumpelstiltskin

Twice exploded

~

My lord’s house has many

Vestibules

Full of fools

Purple Turtle

When I see free

Undulant sea

I am beside

Myself with glee

Bill of Fayre

Sombre Parliament

Death debate lunchtime

Sepulchral viewing

Cremated steak-kidney pie

Charcoal chips-Sati salad

Black coffin, ugly fruit

Gorgonzola cigarette

washed down with

Bromton Cocktails
