at the door
he grips the
waiter

by his offered
paw and then stood
in the centre

of the thorough-fare..
mmm..arms akimbo
he seeks portend-

he is the crow
the scorpion
he is pan

back he twists
over-his head
upside down!

the people of
hamelyn
are appalled-

a small child
cries-
look mummy!

that manΒ΄s head
is upside down!
hot pies!

vendors cry!
chess nuts!
(the police

arrive-hello,
and what do
you

think
you re
doing..?)

rising from the dead
he says
ok,folks!

just loosening up?!
the silence
of heaven

broken
by sound
unknown

the pied piper
played
gloryΒ΄s crown

a perfect
bristled fur
embouchure

a single noted
tear
trickles

down his
downy
beard

the rats
glassy eyed
crowd

move as one
beeeeeep!
the onlookers

frozen
the pp
leaps two

jete
have lost
minds

the rats
follow
closed

behind
they were
leaving

any how..
we have to
all go

the mayor
the waiter
the law

down the street
out of town
to the sea

on his heel
to the brine
and they

go under
and under
until

all drowned
his work done
he walks back

for remuneration
pack his bag
and go home..
