Yabby

Beautiful blue yabby
Lobster of Aussie
Barbied tastes yummy

Dingo

Staked out dingo

Petrol, match, Presto!
Doggy àla flambeau

Yakka Skink

Little yakka skink,
With spiked drink,
Poisoned with zinc.

Better than Words

Had a wonderful poem,
Beginning to gel,
A germ of an idea,
Ready to ripen,
So off I dashed,
Heading for paper,
Desperately holding keys words,
Not wanting to drop them,
To lose them,
Forget them,
Bounded up stairs,
To be greeted,
By a bed headed beastie,
Blurry eyed innocent,
Arms out stretched,
For a hug,
Who could resist?
Not I.
And as hug became cuddle,
The words slipped from my grasp,
Moment of regret,
No, not really,
A cuddle from my daughter,
Is worth more,

Than all the words ever written.

Joining In

Dance with monkey
A razorblade boogie
Exhausted and bloody

Remnants of monkey
From razorblade boogie
Raise as zombie

Short

“I like my desk by the window”
“What, so you can ogle the workmen and passers by?”

She shrugs…

“So no denial then?”

Bitch.

Revision

Another, inspired by a comment from Mr Isham

thanks :)

With glue stuck,
Rows of duck,
Drive that truck!

Glanced

Passing glimpse,
Of underground map.
Finsbury park,
Looked like infinity.

Morning

At seven AM,
I’m out of the door,
Sometimes later,
But often before.

A ten minute stroll,
Less than a mile,
Strangers I pass,
With a nod and a smile.

Few return ‘em,
And most just look glum,
I’m jolly and brisk,
They’re still sleep numb.

It’s a small bonus,
Of working nights,
To go home at dawning,
And see morning sights.

8's

Black, black, glossy black,
Open ended envelope,
With golden script and symbol.
Still heavenly scented,
With minty dark chocolate,
Devoured long ago.
