DEMOCRACY'S-PEN-SWORD-POWER
Write,write; Write, write.
May our pens be swords to smite
the despots who'd set alight
freedom's words with a Fahrenheit.

AN-UGLY-UNION
Hitler and Stalin made a pact.
Sometimes opposites do attract.
The far-left, the far-right,
in bed together. Bloody ugly sight !

OUT-FOXED-BY-A-MONKEY
The monkeys from the mountains
come to steal folks food
in far-away foreign lands
like foxes that go intrude
on London City's suburbs
and other large-growing towns,
for it is that their jungles -
as our forests - are being cut down.

A FLAPJACK?
A girl played Gooseberry.
He blew her a Raspberry,
sticking out a reddish tongue.
He'd gone on a Date.
The Date brought a mate.
There they were; a threesome.
Yes a rude-man was he
and a Fruit and Nut cake.
They've left him all alone.

THE-POODLE-BLAIR-PIE
She came from South Korea
for to live in old Siam.
She'd a poodle in her bag
only the size of her hand.
"I love him, I could eat him,
but don't want him to die."
She went with a wiggle
and a poodle fit for a pie.
Tony Blair was Bush's poodle,
he sent soldiers out to die
against the wish of his country.
Now THERE'S meat for a pie !

THE TWO STARS
I spy the twin-stars
that peep into your budoir
like eyes on the dark-face
of a feline other than you.
Let my lips and fingers trace
your body's every secret place.
Ah yes girl I'll take you far,
over the twin-stars beyond the moon.

THE-BIRTHDAY-BANANA-GIRL
She said "You are so fruity
although you are no fruit."
She said "You are so juicy
and yet hard like a nut."
She peeled off her pyjamas -
like the skin off a banana -
and lay down in her birthday-suit !

NEED NOT HAVE THROWN
"You don't love me, so I don't love you,"
was the emotional-blackmail she threw.
But I being no needy-sort,
what she threw was not caught.

A-NOBLE-ART-OF-POETRY?
She said "You're full of it !"
but does the cap fit?
I hoped she meant wit,
not a dunce or upward sh..;
am I a vulgar verse-poet?!

JACK'S-OFF-A-JOHN-SO-NAMED
He went into the John
to get a Johnny from the machine.
He was a working-girl's John.
Call him Jack, John sounds obscene !

METROPOLITAN MANIPULATION?
Pen-pusher-poison behind the desk
and propaganda promoters on the net?
A clever conspiracy of big-companies
to keep the workers on their very-knees?
Fact? Fiction? What basis this?
Find it, perhaps, in the book Metropolis.

FORGE-BEYOND-ALL-
WRONGFUL-BOUNDARIES
"Oh to be a sophisticate.
Oh to be articulate.
To be to the Manor born."
Speaking from a council estate
you'd have thought the girl was bound
to the limits of her poor background !

A-SEX-ORGY'S-OGRES
The ogre at the orgy
with a great hunger ate
the famished-fresh-flesh
that needed, too, to satiate.

THE DEAD DODOS
Curiosity kills the cat we know,
yet man made extinct the dodo.

HEAD-TO-HEAD-
IN-FRANCE
Tete-a-tete, on the bed,
"Nice pair of teats," I said !

DRIVEN-TO-MADNESS'S-
VERGE
The man's mad dash
ended in a one-car crash.
In the rush, ill-timed,
he longed to drive a girl out his mind.

MEN-THAT-HE-HAD-
MADE-A-KING
The maker of the kings;
he they came to despise.
They tried forget this man
who helped give them rise.
He placed his trust in them;
poor kings find, and unwise.

YES-A-REGAL-SWAN-GIRL-
YOU-ARE
Today was a swnny sea,
a swanny sea like Swansea.
Just like Swansea's said to be.
Tonight come and lie with me
on a bed that is all feathery
and we'll make love girl, regally.

THE-COOL-CALLED-
NORTHERN-THAI-LADY
One of the Thai-girls I came to know
gave herself the nickname Snow.
On the slopes of her soft-thighs
my fingers slowly skied down-wise.
Upon the peaks of her breasts
my climbing lips came to rest.
She'd chosen the nickname Snow
as it's cooler the more North you go.

ALL-MALE-ANIMALS
From the bull in the field
to the stag atop the hill.
From the billy upon the mountain
to the boar in his own swill.
When it comes to the tup
they're all happy as pigs in muck !

AN-ICE-RINK-RANKLE
"They've built a new skating-rink
but the tickets are a pretty price,
and money round here is scarce
as now the polar bears on ice !"

DEEP SEEDS
What we sow
do we then reap.
My thoughts best grow
when planted deep.

HIMALAYAN HYMNS
At the foot of the Himalayas
and looking way up ahead,
you've your hymns and your hopes,
got yout Tibetan Book Of The Dead.
Surely best to aim far higher,
to make your mission to the moon.
You'll fall short of the target
but will reach the top real soon.
Beware the Abominable Snowmen
on whose mountains you'll intrude,
and stick to the path of the Buddha
in your spiritual climb and solitude.

INNER STAR
Ever looking outward,
yet seeing none-too-far.
Never looking inward,
blind to our own star.

CONFORMISTS'-DARK-CHRISTMAS
No two snowflakes are the same
and how white they fall.
Flickers the wax candle's flame.
Folk are not like snowflakes at all.

TWILIGHT-TWITTERS
You're into your twittering-twilight
with your lonely-sparrow-fears.
The thieving magpie will leave night,
stealing away all your years.

PUNTER-POEM
I am with Mr Sillitoe
who wrote of punting down river.
Through Blake's greener England to go
in very sunny weather.
To hear a sedge-warbler sound,
see the odd mink or rarer otter.
City boat-racers hear then my song:
"I am punting for Albion".

SHAPELY-CHARMER
Like a camel with an extra hump,
she had three moony-round-breasts;
the tips pointy as are pyramids
or the beak of the phoenix on her flesh
in the form of a fine-tattoo.
Strange snake-charming lady, ooh !

THE-LEEDS'-PRETTY-DANCELESS-
ESTATE-NAME-PLATE
Where stood a famous dance hall
has grown a huge Leeds estate.
Boys-and-girls rarely take-the-floor
though the disco's name is on the plate.

BRIDE-IN-BLACK
It is your funeral
now you are tied
to the girl who is
your black-gowned bride.

You think the gown white,
white as virgin snow,
but dark the heart
of the black-widow.

It is your funeral,
her veil now lift.
Kiss the bride
and yes, kiss death.

THE-REBEL-WITH-NO-
NOBLE-CAUSE? (for Woody Allen)
Until all will speak free,
start the revolution without me!
Until there'll be equal individuality,
start the revolution without me!
Until it's death to every tyranny,
then do not include me.
Start the revolution with out me!

TUMBLE-A-TYRANT
Tumble the tyrant
we don't deliberately elect
and let us hope for
the domino effect.

Yes tumble the tyrant,
break down the wall;
fell every despots statue
with the demolition-ball?

HUNTING-THE-HUN
The U2, the V1,
spy-plane and spitfire gun.
The rat-a-tat-tat
of our victorious flying bat
saw the Hun go on the mousy run.

MOONTIDES
They say the moon effects the tides
like a magnet; holds the reins.
And Dylan T. sang of being a singer
like the sea in his chains.

KNOW NOT YOU
Wisdom, as Socrates knew,
is knowing you know nothing.
You don't know that, know-it-all  you !

NEVER A TAIWANESE?
West is West, East is East,
on her naked body did my eyes feast.
Who says never the twain shall meet?!

A-REAL-BAD-DREAM
When the poet spoke
it sounded like a croak.
Laughed aloud the folk,
said he'd a frog in his thoat.
A Mudfog frog, a Mudfog frog,
with a croaky dialogue.
"Go on, get back to your bog"
they sang to the Mudfog frog.
Awoke he from the dream's spell.
No poet the frog from the well !
