WING-HIGH-WORDS-MINE-
YES-DO-NOW
Like the honking goose
and the hissing swan
carrying thei messages
over the hills of Albion,
or the carrier hawk or dove
taking news to a king
or even a fair queen,
may my words wing,
may my words fly
higher than the hills are high.
IT'S-THE-HIGHLY-SECRET-GLENSIDE-COTTAGE-
GARDEN-NO-MORE
Windsor Road to the fore,
Glenside Terrace to the right.
Albion Terrace to the left
and the sea not far from sight.
Here is the very cottage
where I had been reared.
To those who visited,
a secret garden there appeared.
And a secret garden there is,
behind the highest wall
"Surrounding flowers and trees,
fairies small and giants tall,
the town-centre just over the way,"
you will hear the visitors say !
TIME-AND-TIDE-SURE-WASHED-
A-DAMNED-NEW-TEMPTRESS-ASHORE
Oh, like the damn witch
with Welsh seamaid name,
cruel Morgan the Fairy,
you are here to game
with halo and crown.
You wish to see fine men drown.
MISSING-THE-LINK-BETWEEN-
HUMAN-BEINGS-AND-THICK-
LATENT-APES?
'The Rights of Man'
wrote Thomas Paine,
and for man's rights
I have no disdain.
He has a right
to world humanity,
but the right also
to set apemen free?
WOMAN-WITH-THE-SEAMAN'S-
MERMAID-TATOO
Pressganged into service
were the men unwilling
to join a naval-ship
and take the Royal's shilling.
Pressgang me into service, girl?
I'll willingly sail you round the world !
THE-LONGEST-GIRL'S-SMILE-
HAS-GOT-TO-BE-A-FADING-PHOTOGRAPH
She met him by the photo-booth
where he was awaiting a train.
She gave her photo to the youth
who would not journey that way again
for a long time; a long, long while.
Find he'd aged more than her lasting smile.
