Are we lost in Tesco?
Are we lost in Tesco?
Or lost inside ourselves?
Are we lost in Tesco?
Or stuck between the shelves?
Are we lost in Tesco?
Or have we gone insane?
Are we lost in Tesco?
Or in the bin again?
Are we lost in Tesco?
Or have we fallen through space and time?
Are we lost in Tesco?
Yes we are and it’s sublime!

Monkey See, Monkey Do
Me, and my whole family
Had caught a virus
Many of us died
But those that survived
Were changed
Including myself
We found, that we were able
To communicate with one another
Like never before
And formed a language of sorts
We began making tools
And building makeshift shelters
Prefering these
To the trees
And none of the other families
Of our ilk
Had evolved like us
So we assumed
That we were the only ones that had changed
As i aged
I witnessed the dramatic changes
As the other families ...

Silly thoughts
I’d like to live in a box
With a pet fox
Never wear socks
And replace my brain with a clock
I’d like to steal a whole zoo
Lick both your shoes
Dance on the loo
And move to Peru with my new kangaroo
I’d like to build my own car
Travel to Mars
Smoke a cigar
And become one with the stars
With a pet fox
Never wear socks
And replace my brain with a clock
I’d like to steal a whole zoo
Lick both your shoes
Dance on the loo
And move to Peru with my new kangaroo
I’d like to build my own car
Travel to Mars
Smoke a cigar
And become one with the stars

Symphony of artichokes
As if it were about listening to sticks,
she swirled free over the pannels,
stormy in emerald bread.
The invisible notes rose in the air,
each soft chord eats the breeze,
echoing among the bestial flakes.
The sun, maestro, reacted to the spectacle,
painting eyes in tones of leather and flesh,
as he lassoed himself with the wind.
There in the hustle and bustle of heights,
the soul contracted its secret trespass,
woven between the ureter and the uterus.

Mad, Or What?
So here i am again
Living within the mundane
Trying to remain sane
Hoping that the inane, won't turn me insane
I don a white coat, not a mac
This white coat, does up at the back
But it's only put on when i go quack
And a flibble, and a flobble, and a yackety yack
It appears to all intent, and purposes, that ive gone mad
Or is this just another fad
Or another weird dream that ive had
When i need more padding, on my pad
It wasn't long, before i grew palmed hair
As i began growling, like a bear
And laugh...

The Cow Cat (three letter words)
But how can you?
Pen the ode
Yes how?
Not now
The red cow
Moo, and moo
One! not two
Oaf!
Now set
One cow
New mew met
The sun
Was hot
And not
The cat
But out the cat ran
For sun tan
Fur now hot
Icy not
And cow moo
And cat mew
The cow cat
Two sat
Now one
Odd pet
Say you too
Moo mew
Not new
But now old
For one eon

The Fairy's Hornbeam Staircase
I had always wondered about the Hornbeam
That grew within a nearby park
Twas a wondrous magical tree
Especially under the moonlight, and the dark
And one such night i visited it
When the moon was full, and knowing
The fairy dust flew all around
As the tree began a-glowing
And from its base, a staircase formed
All bright, and shiny, and gold
It led up to its highest branches
A deep mystery to unfold
This profound vision, aroused my senses
As i proceeded to its base
And stepped upon the very first step ...

The Elsewhere Fairy
Rustic oranges, reds yellows, and greens
Her wings were of a beautiful sheen
Topaz eyes, and verdigris hair
Wild imaginings, of a place elsewhere
Flowing brooks, of a bubbling blue
Rich deep crimson skies, of a softening hue
The setting sun, turns a tempting turtle titian
As the elsewhere fairy, has violet velvet visions
Her soft wings, glide upon a gentle zephyr
As she travels from elsewhere, to somewhere afar
Her arms spread wide, As she swoops deep down
And enters another world, deep underground
Where...

Sayeth I
A black smear
Across an orange sky
Not for me
Said i
I told my GP
And he said
It was best to avoid
Such things
He gave me pills
To cure many ills
But still
I now see
A black smear
Across an orange sky

Omnipresent?
Astral projection
Doppel gangers
Or perhaps i leapt through a worm hole
Or a portal
Or abducted by aliens
Whoever said i was at 1200 Postcards
For last Thursdays open mic
Sadly got it wrong
Sadly
As i would of loved to of been there
Unless i had been hypnotised
Or disguised as a cheese plant
(there are cheese plants there
and have oft wondered
whether they were cheese plants
or camouflaged customers!)
Or i was disguised as a bench
It must of been cunning, and sublime
As no poets were aware of my presence...

The Affects Of Vertigo On A Cow
860 moons
Have passed me by
After 16 Leap Years lie
If i were a cow
And how, or now
Then i may of jumped
Over the moon
Like a goon
About 54 times total
Without a balloon
But i have vertigo
So miss opportunities, now gone
No marriages proposed
Nor yet whether i'm a cow
Has yet to be diagnosed
A very surreal swan song

AI Or Oo-er?
I don't fully comprehend
What's occuring
With all this AI stuff
Taking over the world
But my laptop
Has just informed me
That i'm to be
It's bitch!
Oo-er!
