I am anti septic because I fear the
poison people

I am anti seismic because poison
people have nuclear bombs

I am anti semantic because He Brew
is Guinness thus poison to an alcoholic

I am anti-emetic because the metaphorical
***** of this poem is poison to Palestinians.

I'm anti sceptic and
antisocial distancing
is something Covid
19 has forced on me
unwillingly I'm now
a solitary recluse by
a quiet flower garden
without any bees or
butterflies because
pesticides herbicides
and fungicides have
killed them all here
in the so called green
island of Ireland
which is a deceptive
description implying
a sense or organics
pure or natural but
at only 1% of land
devoted to this form
of agriculture, Green
is a calculated illusion.

ps.

Yeats lived near a bee
loud glade at Innisfree
but I bet it is quiet now!

Governments narrative

controlled by the banking
mafia, big Pharma and the
Gate'd communities of
billionaires orchestrating

and thus the mass censorship
which is currently exercised.

I used to be a pessimist
but now I believe that the
chosen ones were indeed
selected by God and that
their persecution of the
Palestinians is the reason
for their retrospective karma
which was an ex post facto
arrangement with the Devil.

But more than that, history
repeats itself and in a world
where anticipated expectation
is an aspiration, the universe
will be conspiring against them.

This year I am having a change of

heart, I have written to Santa Claus

   and apologised for not trusting in

him citing that I thought it was just a

make believe, so I have added him

to the following list of The Tooth Fairy

   God, The Moon Landing and also

The Holocaust. I am now a convert

and will wait eagerly tomorrow morning

     for my present to be delivered.

The reason I am a Halo Cast
denier is not because I am an
Atheist. The inverse in fact. I
am an Atheist because of the
Halo Cast.  I was a confirmed
believer despite my dyscalculia.

But what didn’t add up was why
would the Lord herd six million of
his super selected Halo Cast
into the glass chambre’s and if he
did, does it mean that we are to
accept that it was an Act Of God?

If the latter is correct, then #itler
was no different to Pontius Pilate
The Roman Governor who by all
accounts ordered the crucifixion
of I.R.N.I. So I got suspicious and
deduced that, God is an Anti Sceptic.

Apparently there was an
Isthmus between Spain
And Morocco millions of
Years ago. Before, what is
now the Mediterranean it
was an arable basin, until
The Atlantic burst through
flooding to Mare Nostrum.
But it didn’t stop there, it
Also broke the ***** of
Bhosphorus, thus linking
Marmara to the Black Sea.
A pity Isreal didn’t flood!

I'm anti seismic,

ashore and submerged

Not being vaccinated is a lot different than being opposed to being vaccinated.
Soon as one says “ I refuse to take the jab “ that is the threshold of dissension
crossed, one is then a low caste untouchable victimised by those who consented.
This is how apartheid works, a partitioning of people by the people from the people.

While social distancing
is being preached but
not practised, one only
need look at nature for
what they call solutions.

Anti social behaviour
might be a better brand
name than social distancing.

Ants are vertical thinkers
a system the Romans used
to march armies across the
Empire, straight lines, of
which do not exist in nature.

We Irish escaped Roman
colonisation, so we think
laterally, unlike the Ants
who have a more Capitalist
attitude to their Modus
Operandi. Paddy's are social
and distancing is not in our
nature, we are a butterfly
nation zig zagging our way
through life so we find this
Coronavirus business a bit
of an affront, the no cross
talking I mean.

Symmetry is in the Cemetery.

We've all had them from time
to time, I often think it is due
to what we consumed the day
previous.

(I never swallow chewing gum)

I say that, because I was highly
amused when Dr.Spock told
Capt. Kirk that Clingons had
been sited around Uranus.

But let us get back to the Asterisk
and the subject at hand, wiping.

Howard Hughes walked through
the interview room to his office,
closed the door and told his secretary
to go and tell the man with the odd
socks, that he got the job?

All a bit ambivalent indeed, but, there
was a method to his madness, because
that particular applicant had shown a
certain inventiveness when confronted
with the problem of a toilet without paper.

It was many the time I resorted to the auld
hand in the sock number myself, so I knew
exactly the meaning of that metaphor.

Each of our fingers has a distinctive role to
play in the anatomy of our lives. Imagine
holding a six pack, thumb and *******,
that same finger which is used to express
the **** analogy when we are expressing our
scorn at someone.

During the war, a man had part of his finger
shot off. His bandaged hand revealed little,
so when a visitor enquired!

" Is it the whole finger " ?

The soldier replied,

No, the one next to it.

I have gone off on a tangent.

So, let's get down to the unwipeable ****
and see can we shed any light on this topic
of the unspokeable.

There is a solution, because not everyone
wears socks or underwear and there is no
sink or tap in the cubicle, perhaps not even
a visible cistern by which one could lift the
lid and have a bed bath.

Worry not, if the deed be already done
because every shoe has a tongue or insole.
The latter is by far the best answer.

Take it out and fold it a spatula form,
then use it as a scraper, the second
one should finish off the job.

Make your way to a hotel or bar and
congratulate your ingenuity with a
double Jameson and a pint of Genius.

When the sexton fell ill,
   **** Smith, as he was
    known, sounded our
    Angelus on the Anvil.

Often, he was accompanied
by pawing on the flagstones
with forelegs, and a chorus
  of nickering in harmony.

Tackle jingled, as anchored
  horses head upped their
nosebags, assuring us that
   it was no doubt, midday!

I often wonder the etymology
of certain words, the reason
they were coined (not minted)
             so to speak.

Imagine a half crown, or better
still, a one pound note with the
Queen’s head on it, and under,
                 it read!

  I promise to pay the bearer
                Nought.

  See, I told you that I could
       write a poem about

              Nothing!

              Isn’t that

            Something

Friday In The Forest

The omnivore herbivore
and carnivore went for
a walk in the woods.

They came to a chestnut
tree and saw a squirrel
feasting.

The omnivore said the
squirrel was making
him hungry

The herbivore said that
the nuts were making
him, hungry

The carnivore said nothing
until he came to the river
and saw a fish jump.

That was when Omni
and Herbi deduced
that Carni was a Catholic.

Witnessing The Destruction Of Ego

By Id.

Self looks in the mirror, somewhat
misted by condensation but no need
to worry what could have changed
since yesterday.

Bristle, my man, bristle.

No, no, not infuriation, this is reality
not a thesaurus.

No need to become indignant or even
irritated.

Keep the hackles down.

Don’t take umbrage or become
defensive.

What’s with the prickles there is no
5 O’Clock shadow.

It is designer stubble if you choose
not to wipe the glass and greet The They.

A Perfect Symbiosis


I remember as a wee lad

going out to the front gate

to fetch our delivered milk.


Bottles those days. Their tops

of gold tinfoil had protruding

Braille writing; the date perhaps.


‘Pasteurised’ was embellished

on the glass over Springmount

Dairies, a local bottling company.


It was pints back then and

under the lid for about two

Inches was a layer of the

richest, purest, Irish cream.


One needed to be up before

the hens or risk your bottles

being breached.


Crows beaks were of identical

length to the depth of the cream.


It surely was, a perfect symbiosis.

Anatomy ****’ogy
 ***’ets and ****

If a female politician
athlete or superstar
has unlawful *** with
a man, nobody gives
two hoots, even when
it is outside the tunnel
of love. Again, if a male
engages with a person
of similar gender, ditto.

But, always a ****. If
the politician, athlete
or superstar star has
testicles (and money)
there’s endless queues
of accusers, as in the
case of Julian Assange,
which was eventually &
diligently due dropped!!


Ps

**** is a weapon used
to character assassinate.
I am not wealthy, ergo,
I’ve never been accused.

to it being sliced, the idea
of promoting each portion
as a petal, ushered in a new

" Bread and Roses " was used
by female bakery employees
who were looking for better
working conditions for all.

Covers faces of stones,

Of trees, he was covert.

Long trestles adorned with

Lines of L back chairs laced

Red white et bleu candles
burned unevenly quenched.

Wax stains, wine blobs, ash,
lipstick transfer kissed glass.

Place marker, name tag,

Bunting, well wished cards,
written speech, crumpled.

Fish in shoals, bread in bowls,
lemon fingered watering holes.
