Put out the cat
& the candle,
Phisss!
Meorghh!
Ouch!
You little-shit, Chuckles!
Go on, treat yourself:
Have a wee one;
Pipe up fresh warm coffee;
Collect new fresh water
from the uphill stream;
Turn off lantern tap.
Time to turn on Turtle?
Go make Myrtle Purple?
No, not now Nigel…
Laters:
Squeaks in Frongs
Three-In-One:

Instead proceed
moving forward,
leaning, faking
baby bader steps,
to the garden gate…

bum numbed:
What a pain
Transparently puny:
crouched, shifting, jumpy.
Sugar load mountain.
Spoon that spoonful.
Croon tune, fart of pixie.
Hammy line; Bambi-mine.
Sulk in silken mulch:
Gulchmen stacked neat
On Ass lawn by door,
calling cactus cool:
enter Geraldo reprising
Cucumber Rumba.
Clever blunder
Cast asunder syncopating
Generation rehydrating.

Greets the coast:
Crumbledown,
Tumbledown

By the sea.
Wizard wheeze,
Morning wees
Sneeze on knees

Slurping milk stout
on a sensible,
suburban bench:
Asyl of sound
self-sacrifice.
If paradise is

That’s just the ticket…
Sit down and make a stand!’

‘ Where’s it at Comrade Cat?’
‘ Ain’t you heard, old fellow me lad
There’s one gone off

Reading, reading,

Wincing & chuckling;
embarrassed & confused,
dazed & amused.
Impertinent little jerk
Shaking a dead man’s geraniums.

Late afternoon,
an afternoon flouted,
another one.
Cooked a scrumptious
Stilton omelette.
Ate it.
Listened to Elvis.
The wonder of you.
Wondered.
Repeatedly beaten
by a Turtle.
Roamed the garden
finding fault.
Paused
For thought
Got caught
