• THEKINGISDEAD980

  Third day of Mucré, our King is in the forest A busy time to be a florist The mews and awnings like old prose florid To allergy sufferers abhorrent, torture ironical To the botanist, a much needed shot in the arm After a Winter boxed in, the gelidness like old sin Lingering long past its…

• Black47back

  Potatoes blight-smothered Bright uniformed enforcers Turfing out sunken Mothers Brother killing brother Proddie oaths uttered Eating weeds stifling hunger Brits living it up Legs up at the Ritz Taigs taking the sip Of traitor’s soup Trains of troopers Trained for rural evictions Such scenes lately fixtures Long fissures, spuds dead in lazy beds Country is…

• Great war it was

  When order flies and chaos thrives When skydown bombs cause men to dive In sucking mires, where men and horses die I employ a wild strategy to help me survive; As soon as I hear rattling guns, I salute immediately If anyone tries to shoot me, I’ll die with my boots Scopes will train on…

• March of Hannibal unplanned

  I am indomitable unstoppable Rome-abhorring Captain Hannibal Children taken, wrenched from mothers’ grasps the land’s span Fed to fearsome hilltop tophets, prophets engage, nay enrage Deities of constraint and malfeasance, grant passage my grand animals Across glacial Alpen passages, that my elpends inexpendable Can depend through that passing and be penned after Rome’s taking Men…
