sense & incense



free kick


use of farce condoned

free to air polemics they’re

British understand


scourges of the left

lawyers for the centrefold

so the story goes


just a moment now

Jesus got the vote way back

when Byzantium


whiskey bravo Yeats

would the thought police confess

look their eyes are crossed


yet a single crack

in the armour's never found

cept the obvious


stick it where it hurts

up the costume bear of them

laugh like merry men


then your puff of smoke

pull a cracker read the joke

disa-bloody-pear




from our man on Mars


members of the dog

shit patrol are counted out

there’s another launch


now to sit & dunk

brandy snaps in endless teas

till their safe return


who’d’ve thought just five

ticks before that space would be

clogged with canine crap


Jed’s banana skins

tins of curried favours burnt

pastries treacle tarts


what the Earth rejects

planets moons & asteroids

just accept it’s wrong


time has come to act

join the Friends of Half a League

keep on looking men


count them back with cheese

straws & pints of black & tan

frothing at the jug




stair crazy


problem attic's no

cellar load of Martian spies

peering through the cracks


not that I care what

punctuates their sentences

serving time's the word


as I've done so go

screw yourselves in smelly socks

pinched from bottom drawers


or on prayer mats

christian names redacted no

what gets me is not


tryna blow their minds

but before too late reflect

on the attic prob




reverse Hubble shot


gender quake reveals

Earth left carbon neutron prints

cross Van Halen’s belt


just between ourselves

dumb as it may sound the snake’s

smoking midnight oil


moony folk believe

life began when Major Tom

turned his helmet in


such a pile of tosh

cracks the screens on Covid plots

satisfaction’s off


still it’s better than

listening while that other clap

trapper gets his wants


hey the black & white

Floyd are playing live tonight

Steely Dead The Dan


guess progressive rock

came to Minneapolis

better late than not


no sense!
