Long Wriggly Poems

Believe in me
And reflect on me
Grieve with me
Zone out freely

Zone out whenever you like
I will be riding my future bike
I don’t have much money, my dear
There are several possibilities and opportunities..I missed several of those,...

Cont'd from Cupid and Psyche: Part 1

And so, the tricky goddess 
got sacks of different seed.
She mixed them up completely 
and said: "Here's what I need.

You have to sort the millet, 
the barley and the...

Ballad : Just another odd guy*

He was just another odd guy
   With a self-abnegating smile
He spun no known wilful ploy
   Enough – just look at him a while

Others came to camp...

Franky was seven and having a party
He told all his school-mates, except for Spud Carty
And once they had heard that Spud wasn't invited
All of them said they were really excited

And then at the party the...

There was a girl, her name was Ann,
She was a crazy soccer fan.
To her all players were the same
Until one team would lose the game.
For losers Annie kept her cheers,
For them she cried her biggest...

Sometimes some lost and lonely housewife I know well and knew put glossy
lip stick on and subtle pastel shade mascara plucked his brows and shaved
the pits of desperation the dust and grime the secretive desire...

A FISHERMANS TALE
By
Kevin L Fairbrother


Blowering Lake in the Snowy’s is the place to be
To catch a Yellowbelly or Silver Perch
Or if you are lucky a Murry Cod or a trout
They all live beneath the cold...

less to the tune of ‘That’s Amore’ (not the ‘In Napoli’ bit),
this is the cleaned up version of an unprintable original.

I’m not string, I’m not spaghetti
And I’m certainly no yeti
With a bit more evolution
Could have been a John Paul Getty

But I love to make you squirm
Cos I’m just a wriggly worm
Yes I’m smaller than a...

At the footbridge I stare in dismal despair
As the chasm beneath it shrieks
With its jaws open wide, I must swallow my pride
Set across to that fair distant peak

But, with its slats and its lats and...

Hedgehog, O hedgehog
dear spiny, meek and mousy poppet.
In England
where the tickly grass grows
greener
we galumph in our rubber boots
up to your little
Hobbit nests
beneath the thorny bushes
were you rests.

We the ever scampy
nippers
fill tin cups with wriggly worms
leave...

The Wandering Witch of Halloween


Writhing, wriggly slimy maggots
weaving through her hair,
her black heart  the embodiment
of repulsion and despair.

A malevolent wicked demon, 
many tales do foretell,
she’ll ravenously stalk you Halloween night
and drag you down to...

Writhing, wriggly slimy maggots

weaving through her hair,

her black heart  the embodiment

of repulsion and despair



A malevolent wicked demon, 

many tales do foretell,

she’ll ravenously stalk you Halloween night

and drag you down to hell.



No-one knows her identity

Walking to the end,
of this old wooden dock.
The tranquility of the pond,
is disturbed, 
with a wizz and a plop
Ripples ,run from this,
bright orange bobber.
To town has come,
the foolish fish, robber.
Beneath the surface,
Old Tom sees,
a flash...

As she drinks nectar from a flower, sweetness from heaven falls like dew

Lifting her wings she lands on a...

I’m dining with my cousin Giles
Who disclosed he’d terrible piles
He’s wriggly and twitchy
Cos his butt’s so itchy
His visage is sad, there’s no smiles

He’d  tried using soft margarine
This process had just made him scream
So he...

Three mischief makers,
Larry, Lester and Lew,
slipped some wriggly white mice,
inside of their mothers' shoes.

Three screaming mothers,
threw up their hands and ran.
"We're in trouble," screamed Lester,
"Does anyone have a plan?"

"Stick out your lips," shouted Larry,
running as...

One eye of burnished brown
The other of glowing yellow
Coat the color of loamy ground
An imposing, fearsome fellow

Peers about and leaves no doubt
Those orbs so fiercely feral
That to try to pet, one might regret
Best be done...

I've never been in a war zone
but one time I got lost on my way to wriggly field
ending up in a tilted, burned-out ghetto.
A cherry pulled me over for being out of place
and said leave...

The Blackbird bobs the lawn
This early dewy dawn
Cants his head left and right
For the worm out of sight

Down below a juicy worm
Through the dark wriggly squirm
He slides along without a care
Unaware he is breakfast fare

And...

Wriggly, wriggly, Willie Worm,
you’re so cute when you squirm!
You move your body to and fro
and that propels you to up and go!

Squiggly, squiggly, Willie Worm,
you soften the earth when you turn
and channel rain for plants...

 ‘twas in a bag, now it’s down there
Till dad comes back I’ll sit and stare,
it was my first pet, life’s so unfair

I tripped and fell grazing my knee,

Aunty Betty ate spaghetti 
Every chance she got
For every plateful
Very grateful, she
Would scoff the bloomin’ lot

Aunty Betty ate spaghetti
Several times a day
With every course
A different sauce, and
That’s just how it would stay

Aunty Betty ate spaghetti
