One often hears said
of a discovery in the
attic of an unfinished
poem. Well, I found a
3 letter barely started
title beside an empty
ink bottle and an old
fountain pen. One of
those with the rubber
refills which needs to
be squeezed and then
released for siphoning.

Just like teats of a cow.
There is usually something
afoot when the sky shutters
are drawn closed. Normally,
not too long afterwards one
begins to hear the pots and
pans being hurled across a
silver lined expanse as Thor
and Zeus explode into what
becomes a lightning abuse,
that always ends up in tears.
A salty tidal spray Celtic
mist with the foggy dew
Atlantic wind and fairies
plus rays of a watery sun
are bringing slow erosion
to the rust house of Irons.
The moon has no fixed
abode, other than a pad
behind the hill according
to a very old Irish song.

The sun is not nearly as
adventurous, same old
same old, but there are
a lot people like this also.

Let the hare set is a saying
which means to pause for
a moment and a rabbit set
is and area a bit like a hutch.

Game set and match is the
tennis term which is almost
the same as lock stock and
barrel, or, the full caboodle.

There is a set square which
is an implement rather than
a tool used by an engineer,
so called due to being fixed.

On the set is the stage term
abbreviated from the setting
which was often a backdrop
set up to assist the audience.

There’s a couch settee which
is a low working class lounger.
Sofa is aspirant bourgeois, but
I much rather, Chaise Longue!

A settle is more than reaching
an agreement or fixing debts
a settle is/was also a wooden
chest or a pew in a monastery.

Settlers are unscrupulous Jews
stealing land from Palestinians
in the West Bank after already
being gifted Israel by the Brits.
.   The Cuckoo comes in
    April and squats a nest
   in May, and sure what of
it, if she’s not able to build
one for herself and anyway
  all she does is lay an egg
  and the host bird hatches
   then feeds the chick, it is
    natures best example of
  symbiotic socialist sharing.


We humans need to heed it.

In Tir na Nog where
time is semaphored
with arm, and open

when the Harp sits
on top of the cloud,
half way to Heaven!

If I was a Fred with a *******
and a nose that stuck out in a
crowd I’d be similar to Cyrano
de Bergerac or Van **** with
his **** not allowed. in a dam.

Ps

If the Belgian boy stuck his
***** and not his finger in
the Dutch ****, then Holland
would not be under sea level.
