Land Of The Fee
Why sure,
have whatever you want
ya'll are free to choose,
just make sure to pay for it all before you leave.
How your ancestors must weep
for when they sold their lives
to keep their neighbours free
and noble was the land,
how truly noble,
that lost land of the free.
have whatever you want

and noble was the land,

Freedom Fries...
Are the famous fries of France
Which sadly are not oil free
In assisting Yankee liberty
With carbohydrate circumstance,
But staying free takes lots of work
And has a metabolic toll
Harsher than the internet troll
Decent people know is just a jerk
Who does not care for me or you
Or citizenry as a whole
In any state that's flipping blue
Who realize the protocol
Republicans so often do
Is just another tax loophole;
An action which, I'm afraid it's true,
Leaves public cash in private control.
Which sadly are not oil free

The Free Trade Blues
I wish Anonymous had a navy
So they could sink all the billionaire yachts
With Greenpeace approved carbonless dreadnaughts
Safe from the locker of Jones, comma Davy,
As well as all the face recognitions
Used on the freebooter internet dudes
Boiling with Marxist disquietudes
So upsetting to banker patricians
Relying on the common data mine trust
To rake in the proletarian cash,
Just as Electrolux sucks in the dust,
Faster than corn through the chutes of white trash;
A means to an END...rudely repercussed,
While...

Marxism!
I sing The Internationale today
To honor leftist liberal pride
In the ancient Whiggery way
The Civil War went and nullified.
Now a Republican is do and die,
Irresponsibly with his gun,
Long before giving brains a try
At having any social fun
Poo-pooed by Nazi popery
And opting instead for ammo sales
Supporting honky snobbery
Or building surplus profiteer jails
For anybody unduly diverse,
Save for clergy too perverse,
Or any friendly oligarchs
Not liking Karl... or Groucho Marx!

Defo A Rise.
That'll be £89.95 dear
You're damn right--
That is dear!
Bloody dear!
Inflation has made everything expensive.
Everything dear.
That were £56.95 last year.
Is that 33 percent annual inflation rate.
(I'm not sure.
Maths was never my strongest point.
Or is that Economics.)
There's defo a rise
In the price of living.
Why aren't we surprised!

Broke Bloke!
The Days Passed Over Him.
He was Now Broke!
He'll Never See That Kind Of Money Again.
Stoopid Broke Bloke!

Merely Overwhelmed
By no longer having

Rich,Rich,License.
A thousand pounds a day!
The myth of the suffering artist
Spending a thousand pound a day,
Is a myth?
(Everyone is Rich.
We hate the fucking Rich.
Everyone is Rich.
We hate the fucking Rich).
A thousand pounds a day!
This myth that
Sniffs
And sniffs
2 blow away brain cells.
(Everyone is Rich.
We hate the fucking Rich.
Everyone is Rich.
We hate the fucking Rich).
A thousand pounds a day
This is the life of many artists.
A thousand pounds a day.

google knows
my every nook
the foods i love

the music

the thoughts i chase
the things i fear
she knows
when i am up or down
my manic swings
my thorny crown
my politics
my poems and prayers
my aching joints
and thinning hair
my aspirations
artsy flings
troubles, joys
and secret things
i thought were mine
and mine alone
she tracks my way
infests my phone

Winds Of Yesterday
That morning, like a rose,
Let memory fall on her well
None of her beauty shadowed
And her fragrance lifted,
Those vanishing sweet hours,
That kindly early wind
Upon memories traced
Thankful everlasting breath,
With such sweet immortal passion,
Still plying itself around
Watching everything change
Awake and find it unchanged,
And so that final beauty,
A lover no one can deny
Come and kiss me once again
Sleep now, with me, forever.
Let memory fall on her well
None of her beauty shadowed
And her fragrance lifted,
Those vanishing sweet hours,
That kindly early wind
Upon memories traced
Thankful everlasting breath,
With such sweet immortal passion,
Still plying itself around
Watching everything change
Awake and find it unchanged,
And so that final beauty,
A lover no one can deny
Come and kiss me once again
Sleep now, with me, forever.

Bent Tent.
Sent
The bent
Tent
2 the girl friend
Who lived down
The road.
She responded
By sending
Me a mobile phone.
IPhone
I have you know.
No other phone
Will do,
No-- No!
Inserting the micro sim card in
I thought of the
Bent tent I sent
2 the girl friend.
Who lived down
The road
Down the road
And who generously
Gave me a mobile IPhone.

meeting Van Gogh edited
Meeting Van Gogh
The wheat field is blond as a German milkmaid.
Intense heat, in the shade of an olive tree
I saw a grumpy Van Gogh is glaring at me for
appearing in his painting.
My scooter is electric blue and doesn’t fit in.
Easy now, my painter, pretend it is a mule.
The vine, deep green or dark cerulean
soon bottles of liquid pleasure.
The road in your landscape is like a mamba
sneaking its way, killing rabbits blue.
The afternoon sun is fierce, sweat in my eyes
I fall among thistles, and Van Gogh smiles.
