My lovely nanny goat
an unusual gift for my thirteenth birthday

White fur

Cute pet
Loved to eat hay
wet

The weeds that grow upon the lawn
Continue growing when they’re shorn
Though treated with a herbicide
It’s no surprise that none have died
The chemicals that you apply
Should make them shrivel up and die

Makes them grow and makes them flourish
Don’t sit there...

Babysitting bloody goats,


Babysitting bloody goats,
Baaaa baaaa twinkletoes has notes,
Trying to get some bloody sleep,
Sounds like a rabid rancid sheep,
 a lonesome goat, you know it,
wheres that bloody clive a sitting,
climbing screen doors, its not quiting,
Sue heard one on the ole tin roof,
twinkle toes tap tap...

got a horse but doesn’t ride. Adopted a dog 
and two barn cats...

Rise up black woman and you all of other colours
Rise up and grab your fallen baton
Passed down from the hand of heroines past

The lioness who hunted for  lions to eat
Rise up lest her exploits be forgotten
Rise up to...

No need to bother those of light thinking
For these things are not known to them; 
It’s like plucking a nanny goat a sweet tune ;-
She responds not to your fine musical gem.

There’s simply no need to tell your wise words
To ignorant nonentities such as Simons...

As I reminisce
through childhood eyes
I see vivid images
of my family home
where bumbles would bounce
 
Our garden seemed to stretch for miles...
perhaps that’s why
I made an odd birthday request
for a nanny goat as a pet !
Taking her home in dad’s VW Beetle car
caused quite a stir...

Anything I want to be Fuchsia?
Let's start with the fire trucks for every city.
Let's paint the town bandstand and each dog and kitty.

Anything I want to be Fuchsia?
Let's paint my mother-in-law's little and big toes.
Let's start at the top now, and slather pink on her...

Esteemed personages and jurists
let the oral arguments begin.

Sir, the legality of your position on this
most serious of matters
limps like a drunken duck.

Madam your logic has diminished,
it trips over its own dung,
it bleats like a flea bitten nanny-goat.

Sire, your robes make you look fat.
Madam, your mother...
