Sausage Mash and Peas

sausages mash and peas Slowly climb the leaning tree and learn about leaves Count them Count the corners The points The colours And when you have completed this climb back down but quickly this time For this is a process of professionalism and professionalism is neither a professor picking potatoes and nor is it a pale portly peach in a pothole A seasonal session is a lesson indeed And when to amass such knowledge and gain such insight Structures that know no surrounds are the enemy of the lines Drawn out lines are a plan to cage And taunt the chambers And dwell in thin cabled networks of plasma No controlled steam could grow a stem on a concrete path And no wave could flow from a tap And no free flowing river jet could burst out of a water spray And in a jury clad case of fast measures it is best to be a frog Leaping At top speed Especially when the case being heard is not a suitcase patterned open and shut one It is a fact versus fiction To whom should you place your beliefs then Belly laughing buttoned buffoons Bellowing Oh and before the programme shuts it must be said that apples always follow pears into the food bags For the comfort element But oh no the screaming plasma of an electrified plant But the kindness of the acacia berry is renowned for giving the electric a mild boot Foreknown is not often a foregone conclusion and conclusions are neither a clinking chain nor are they a clapping chunk of pineapples in a picture window So now all can see and smell the garden pollen, perhaps it is time for the just and dutiful cause of the lawnmower To pull itself out from the dust and cobwebs and pull the grass out with such force that all windows break Oh wow adjudicating ant is clapping wildly in fur surrounds Z Formicidae Z at 40 round beetles kicking a stone into a puddle to 18 wild and infruiated beads of corn
