Long Inconspicuous Poems

Fork git about spooner hiz ham

in a traffic jam
basting, cooking, then eating a lamb
prepared by thee missus
a superb culinary madam.

Men of pervy persuasion 
Roam the sands

The archaic foundation is shaken and
Bitter worms are writhing from among the cracks
like a slow nightmare to overtake

Nature responding reaches its arms
to its Maker
With a plea traveling on...

A Wolf...A Lamb...A Wolf

Forgetting myself...started with me
To be sweet, to be quiet...to fit in.
Conformity!
Impress by agreement.  A Lamb I could be.
Convince all my thoughts; 
Copacetic is me

Pushing her life before her
In a tatty shopping trolley,
Covered in a dirty duvet.
She moves around the town,
Slowly, 
Head down,
Hugging the walls and side alleys,
Trying to be inconspicuous.

One day with curious concern, I approach.
"Hello, how...
