THE-THAI-POET-PHU
'Twas Suthon Phu,
the celebrated poet who
wrote of a crystal isle
beyond the Land of Smiles.
An island that no more is,
like-Eden, Lemuria-and-Atlantis.

HYMNS-FOR-HEROES-HERE-
FIND
Find them on album tracks
or in a book's open pages.
Hymns to heroes for those who lack -
at these later times, these stages -
the courage of their own convictions
and live lives of sad-contradictions.

A-FAMILY-FUN-DAY-TRIP-OUT
Sonny's dire-catapult
and sissy's sugary-radio feature
upon this rare trip.
A day out to bond with nature.

Daddy's got his gun,
mummy her Home magazine.
Granny wants to get back
for Coronation Street to be seen.

FICKLE-FOLK-FIND
It's too cold or too hot
or it is far too wet.
It is much too dull
or much too colourful.
The weather isn't perfect,
and people - too - are not !

ERICA JONG
"Fear-of-Flying," says his wife,
"is-not-the-way-on-How-To-Save-Your-Own-Life."

A POETESS JOOLZ PIECE
"Men just like to buy," we hear you say.
But women sure do like to shop, Joolz, don't they?!

CHILD-ALICE'S-RELATIONS
A piece-of-poetry
is subject-to-relativity,
and through which
only some may pass
just like young-Alice
with the looking glass.

GASTON'S GHOSTS
You made a phantom of me
after I made a rose of you.
We-might-have-been-a-novel
by the author Gaston Leroux.

I'm being too theatrical,
yes I am being all show.
You and I are ghosts, girl,
in the play-palace of long ago.

YES-A-VERY-COLOURFUL-
LIFE'S-VIEW
One a redhead,
one is a blonde.
One a brunette.
With all I bond.

Sure tell me do
O bleached-white bones
why find you fault
come the skin tones?

FAR-OFF-STAR-LOVER-
VERSE-YES
Loved you best
when viewed from afar.
Mine was always
that distant star.

VERY-PERVERSE-VAMPIRE-
VERSE-POEM
She was no kind Marcilla,
almost the reverse was true.
She was a Carmilla Karnstein
by clever Sheridan Le Fanu.
Yes find a cruel vampire she
who'd suck my blood so perversely.

KAISER-MISCHIEFS-YOU-
SURE-NOW-CAN-FIND
It sure was a funny carry on
that led us up into World War One.
Those with no conspirital beliefs,
look to the episode with  Kaiser Chiefs !

PERSIAN-POEM-PIECE
Rhubaiyat of Omar Khayyam?
Beneath a palm with pretty-girls sat
and plenty bottles of plonk.
I can go drink to that !

A-CONVENT-TAKEN-OVER-
BY-SATANIC-DESIRES?
The Loudun nuns
were by devils overrun?
By human-lust overtaken
in a too chaste haven !
