Mum Loves War

The hophead at the
Music festival next to me
Yells out the instruction
"Everybody shrink!"

The lead singer holds parallel
To the audience an elongated
Truncheon with a dishwashing
Glove on the end of it

A manakin dummy is tossed
Into the congregation and
It crowdsurfs it's way back
Tossed out the exit 

'Insistent savagery'
The 1956 edition 
Of Encyclopaedia Britannica
Describes rock 'n' roll 

Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her
Mass of the Fermenting Dregs
Abingdon Boys School 
North Korea Loves John Kerry

Cutlery
The Bad Swedes
Deathwasps Stinging My Brain
I Am the Hottest Part of Hell 

It's exhausting picking
A band name
