Long Kebab Poems

She maneuvers gracefully without fins or flippers
creating no ripples in deep blue waters
sneaking calmly upon jittery preys
and disguise herself in the middle of the day

A sudden thrust from beneath the fog
she buries herself under a...

As the sun goes down
The feral cat’s prowl 
Looking for mice, searching for rats
In the alley, bins full of out of date
And yesterday’s wrapping.
A tribute to Consumerisms detritus

On the ground a smiling face
Colonel Sanders, blocking...

While Shepherds watched their flocks by night all seated on the ground
The ewes collected up their lambs and gathered them around

If you all want to...

What day is it? Who’s at my door?
“Here is some breakfast I made just for you”
Says some stranger who slept on my floor
The sight of the eggs...

It's time we spread love in the world, I'm tired of the hate
We need to embrace different cultures instead of hating people over their race
No one is more important, we're all equal
We need to come...

You've been a rock
When I felt vulnerable and unsteady

You've been a comfort
When I felt weary and downcast

You've been a balm
When I was in agony and distrust

When those I counted as friends betrayed me
You stayed true

When...

So house proud
Yet nowt inside
This Terrace house
But family

Mum outside
Dressed up in her pinny
Gabby Anny
Gossiping over washing line
With nosy nextdoor neighbor

Proudly polishing
The front door step
Sweeping nothing up
Using vinegar and newspaper
To shine the windows pristine clean

Just before...

Hello Pad these will be the first rhymes I write without thinking so I'm really about to speak to you

A little old man called Finbar McGann
Survived on a diet of spinach and spam.
Occasionally cabbage he dined on as well,
but hated the way it made his house smell.

One day when he woke, it’s hard to...

All of a sudden, the town sort of changed,
As though the years had heaped all their dust in one go,
Reshaping the atmosphere and structure,
Erecting a darker, more feral architecture.

I sat on a bench in the...

I'm Rudolph stuck in traffic, and on this of all the nights,
and up to now my nose has matched each set of traffic lights,
the fat guy in the back keeps bridling at our progress slow,
why...

No more burgers, sausages and no more lamb kebab
No more chicken drumsticks gotta fight the flab

Gut Gripes
There is a man who eats hand grenades.
They go Kaboom! in his big fat belly.
You ask why does he eat them?

He's got a slight indigestion problem.
A trip to the doctors gave no joy.
As did...

Like two rusty hinges my eyelids creaked open,
the pale morning light seared my eyes,
the banging I heard was the sound of my heart
and the gurgling, my stomach's hushed cries.
I knew it would prove as I...

Booze Squad
Tonight should have taken place in July, my birthday night out. 
A dozen weekly tattoos stopped that. 
It was a frosty December evening when we went to a few pubs for a beer.
Frozen ground...

It’s a Saturday night; all the lads are on the beer
Posing in their best clothes – look out ladies we are here
They swiftly down a pint then another three or four
Soon they are getting wobbly...

A fragrant vagrant isn't a bad thing it is wise to fill a dolly bag with silver coins. Drooping dressing doopy doggy draperies draped. Cabal cable carnage. How not so idyllic. And a two ton...

I stumbled drunkenly through Stroud
Passed the kebab van on the hill,
When all at once I saw a crowd
Of ladettes – taunting the old bill;
Just for a lark, just for a wheeze,
Flirting and dancing, dressed to...

Filtered through the mists of dream,
sound broke my reverie.
“Hello” he slurred “I’m drunk I am,
will you please come for me”
In semi-dark, and close to sleep,
I’d dress to do the run
to rescue back my loved one,

A voice in the mirror,
God your good looking
The gladiators chin
And the eyes of Perseus
Captured in the energy of youth
This night belongs to him

But love has many players
Its Intoxication is addictive
Saturday night on the town
Wildlife on...

And I picked it up and said: Hey Baby, let’s get more of those! But then you rose from the
bed...
