London’s streets resembled an al fresco mausoleum 
They tracked a trail of body parts which led to a museum
A thousand Terror Bugs were massed, in...

Phobias
	A Bluto is not that Disney dog
	It was when a mewling 
	that I would scream 
	Should they wet my body
	And then apply cream
	
	Ablutophobia – fear of bathing, washing, or cleaning
	
	Achluo the demon that lurks
	In darkened...

thermometer reads zero, a chilly breeze blows
  apple cores thrown, the blackbirds feed
  my multi-layered partner dons her wooly hat
  impatiently, she waits for me
  securing covid masks amidst my overcoat

I
The beggar outside the supermarket
You swore was picked up later
In a flashy car
Sat there in the sun for 8 hours
While you pissed & moaned
All the way home
To your bookless
Mausoleum 
With a chlorinated pool
Where one day...

Bird Brains

Mr Fox wore padded socks to creep up on some chickens
The chickens had CCTV and weren't such easy pickings
He snuck up to the coop and took a peek in through the hatch
The cockerel slammed...

Nobody knows what goes on behind this hotel door
‘Mr Smith’ isn’t with his wife of that I’m pretty sure!
He’s with his mistress Sue, they are having an affair
But he is a cheating love rat and...

The air was damp inside the house, chill creeping through the walls
 Swags and Tails with dusty eyes seep through the faded falls.
  The garish group sat silently hands splayed upon a table square
Whilst...

My tale about the barnacle I bared upon my bum
has now passed into legend and folk law
The  battle I thought was over and now long done
Just when I thought I could sit down and...

Bathed in nectar dew drops, now
the damsel spring stealthily 
tiptoes into the hamlet
with all its strength.

The south breeze plays
fifth symphony on tender new leaves,
flings the grey garment of fugitive winter
on the tether of time.
The red...

In this time , this town, you'd grow
In this town, this time, you'll feel at home
your poor plenty more than rich enough
to crack the faultline,
your cup half full, half overflowing.

You stretch your legs and wings...

Foreword... the sort of daft rubbish I write in a effort to defeat writer’s block. No attempt to make any sense, just to get words on a page/screen. Normally I end up deleting such garbage......

Early October.
I accidentally came across your message,
I dare not open it, after it caught my eye "Police contacted. You..."
What did he try to prove?
End of September, a note was hand delivered direct to your letter...

Around the dank and dreary walls the howling wind does scream,
And as the rain begins to fall you’ll know its Halloween,
The lightening strikes and mist will form and round the town it swirls,
And dressed as...

They’ll thieve from you your money 
Your shoes that you just brought,   
They do it with a notion          
That they’ll never get caught. ...

letter box line... and because I just love the song!]

Don’t slap a copper with a kipper
Don’t catch your todger in your zipper
Don’t put the peas...

My unusual physical appearance 
Was enhanced by a striking thinness, 
And enormous long-lashed blue eyes. 
Less charmingly, I was also the kind of 
Deliberately malicious little hooligan
Who'd remove some periodical 
From a neighbour's letter-box
And then...

Enduring love in a letter box
for it wearies not with age
neither does it fade in time 
It forever lives on every page

Oh I know it all to well
love comes and go's like the tides
but here...

With time on my hands now that I am retired,
To hobbies I have returned,
And I am not disappointed.

I am back into stamp collecting,
Still find it rewarding,
Brain cells re-connecting,

Memories of shared interest with my Mum,
Which was...

He only worked the night shift
The other shifts he was cut adrift
As soon as the sun went down
You could see him prowling the town

In his post office van he picked up the letters
And on the...

A distant fire glows
out on the horizon
spreading further as it grows
Early morning nature rises
calls as birds stir twittering
Day breaks 
crisp chilled air fresh on the lungs
Cats stalk through gardens
as news paper round girls and boys...

To touch the aircraft wheel on the country's soil
An emergency message ...
Authorities have arranged for drinking, feeding and sleeping
Emergency and sudden landing of soldiers across the country ...


After seventy two hours of terrorism, I came...

Heavy Right Foot

The clatter of the letter box
And post on the mat
Sends a shudder of fear
So I cuddle the cat
My hand shakes 
And my heart beats fast
I did something wrong
In the recent past
I know they...

If we want to see less people looking back in anger,
We need to give them more to look forward to,
Like old age,
Like 3 square meals a day,
Like being listened to,
Like less waiting time for that...

Drinking drugging, chug a lugging,
Cruising down the poncy street,
Drunk a 40 cats a hugging,
Look out 4 this ***** on heat,

Brain a thumpin, blood a pumping,
Dogs a humping, jelly beans to eat,
Cant get me car outa...
