#sausage - Hello Poetry

Rainbowing guff Which wasn't whether other wise The ordeal of love Was ours, a heart to despise? Wagers appear Salt for honey Quiet for pepper All out, for the money Sat urges Complete the stalking... When misery has a word... Isn't a stickler for how, wishes walking? True... We have the odor of anxiety Made to order, made to due The impossible, in order of tragedy... Complex cousins Ready to dance, obligation, into the light When such, a saving grace, has seen the poison Blind bell's on the route, to what fate might...

Ethics To A Sausage

Rainbowing guff Which wasn't whether other wise The ordeal of love Was ours, a heart to despise? Wagers appear Salt for honey Quiet for pepper All out, for the money Sat urges Complete the stalking... When misery has a word... Isn't a stickler for how, wishes walking? True... We have the odor of anxiety Made to order, made to due The impossible, in order of tragedy... Complex cousins Ready to dance, obligation, into the light When such, a saving grace, has seen the poison Blind bell's on the route, to what fate might...

Awash with ***** I peed all over me shoes Well Storm me if I ain't a bad sea Captain I'd had a ton of *** and a whole barrel of porter Now the landlord he's shouting "Last Orders" So where's me Crew, me Swabs, me Hearties ? Yea! where's me Aces and me Deucies .......Nowhere to be seen, not a one, Just a pack of feckin' Jokers, Find me the Fox and show me the Shirkers!!! I'd drunk too much that's what I'd done Well tie me to the mast and chastise me severely for such unseemly behaviour All I wanted, just some fair company, to be lavished by a couple of lovelies But No! they wouldn't have it, wouldn't entertain me Snobs! Stuck up cows!! ******* We nearly had a Barney I'd rather wet me ***** in a Jar of cold Jellies. Standing there outside in the cold night air Trying to get me bearings, yea! trying to take a reading Me Northern Star, he must have fecked off to the Northern Bar And my compass, he's whirling around like a Dervish, Well ***** me sausage in a jar of malt vinegar We're sailing blind tonight me boys Keep a sharp lookout atop of the Crow's Nest won't ya! And so, we ventured out, a brave man With ***** as big as the bold Hercules himself A wee bit tentative at first I'd concede Lurching about from side to side, all over the place But not to worry, with me there at the helm, both hands on the wheel Solid and salty as any old sea dog Singing away to meself a wee shanty " I'm no landlubber me! Just give me the dark and the rolling sea" Steady as she goes me Hearties! I thought we was doin' alright till one of my feet It trod in a space with nothing there in it And my Ship it goes tumbling sideways over Hell's britches!!! I'd trod in a pothole the size of a manhole "Man the lifeboats Lads, we're going over" I cried. Next thing I know I'm lying on my back And the Moon she's blowin' me kisses And at the end of the Bar, there! me Northern Star And Him smokin' a cigar and sippin' Brandy with some ******* Looking like a Dandy at Christmas "Hey Judas!" I shouts over, "where's me monkey?" And then suddenly, this woman, this woman out of nowhere Out of the darkness, this Spectre An old Sea Witch for sure, by thunder She starts bawling laughing at me and pointing her crooked finger, Well dent me dagger on a cold woman's heart If she doesn't cut the legs right out from under me Every time she opens her big Gob, the squeals of her Makes me feel two feet tall she does with her cruel laughin' & sneery banter And her drawin' a big crowd around her (And me! a Giant!!.... a feckin' Whale, a Walrus!!). Well lash me Luger and wake me up with a poker I wasn't wobbling, that was just me swagger, And I ain't lying down here no longer either Heave ** the ropes me lads and haul me up me Hearties Till I stand once more at a proper angle, Yea! Hoist me up like a mast and watch me sails billow again in the breeze Watch me belly bulge out and me eyes roll around in me head Now we're back afloat, buckle up me sword on me belt And roll out me cannons For the name of this ship, if it isn't the Great, the "Great Defiant ", By the two Horns on Hell's Gate What am I doing here at all in this place, with ye folk I'll wave me ***** at this world, yea! I'll dangle me dibbler Did ye not hear, did no one tell ye I'm off yea! I'm off to Australia. II For Sweet Destiny, she visited me this night, she kissed me She came like a gypsy when I was a bit tipsy So exotic with all her bangles and beads and her charms And dresses all the colours of the rainbow With her big crystal ball eyes of grey Like the Moon she mesmerized me completely And then she kissed me with lips sweet as whiskey And she whispered in my ear a magic word. " Australia ". You see this was how it was I read it some place,seen it somewhere A sweet wee lass, a fellow girl poet from Australia She said, she lamented " Poetry, it isn't very big over here The people their not inclined, their not of that mind" Said I aghast, I'll change their hearts Their hardheaded folk, those folk down there It must be the snakes and the spiders down the toilet So hoist me up onto me pulpit Them heathen folk they need convertin' badly. O! Give me a Ship, give me a Galley And like Columbus I'll start a big rumpus We'll sail off over the horizon, and keep turning on the globe Till we sight the shores of that Sweet Island And that lovely Queen of the South reclining Beautiful and wonderful Australia!!! There's gold in their hearts even though they may not know it And jewels in their eyes big as diamonds Treasures by the thousand So hoist up me trousers boys, Me! I'm off to Sligo Wait a minute, No! No I'm not, I'm off.... off to Australia. So gimme a wooden leg and hoist me parrot up onto me shoulder Arrrr! Jim lad.....now where's me soldiers Are ye with me lads We'll plow through the sharky seas Then I'll plant me flag on their beaches And claim this Land for Posey.... yea! for Poetry, And if they don't like it If they string me up by the ***** and spit on me Sure I'll just smile back at them and tell them "I'm just..... I'm just Jim Dandy". III Alas! It wasn't to be, next morning they found me Upended in someone's garden The Sergeant he shook me, " What are you doing down there? " he said, "Ahoy there shipmate Sir" says I, like a true shipwrecked sailor, "I had me a dream last night, I dreamt...I dreamt I were bound, bound for Australia.

I speak of a sore loner, A loner who had a ***** And only his hands for help. He's so scared of teenage pregnancy, He spent his years juicing his sausage, As he often got bored of 'his monotony'.

Loner

I laughed in places Where Laughter was not asked for, In granite market towns Beneath refugee palm trees shivering. Running from giant hands That were covered in car wash fluids, The back of children's heads imprinted On their palms. I laughed during disciplinary procedures, Before authority figures With cornflakes in their red beards And my laughter crept over the edges of their flowerbeds And the grass laughed with me. I laughed at funerals, The sounds of horses beyond the churchyard And a messenger ran down the aisle panting and exhausted, He had a message for my laughter ' Quick you must come at once'. I laughed during marital feuds, Laughter rising out of its own body above broken guitars and dried up bonsai, Above all the things I said That contradict me now. I laughed during serious films, The tulips drooping on top of the T.V. The sun slumped against the door, Behind heavy curtains I mistook for pigs on hooks. I laughed over exercise books, Above algebra and history Behind impossible bra straps That appeared out of acne and ink flicked backs. I laughed at the swimming pool Hiding birthmarks like stains, Drowning above the water saying 'I am a fish I must get back in!'. I laughed in surgeries among migraines and told my mother that robots were taking over, in the same rooms where they removed my brothers' verucas And I saw the doctors small blade escape through the window. I laughed during friends confessions, In between the silences of repeated songs While pantomime dames walked past windows make-up running in black and yellow rain. I'm laughing while making coffee in a campervan, I'm laughing because its a monday morning, Because everyone else is busy, Because we have an oil lamp from a pound-shop Burning beneath the sound of rain on the roof, Because the radio's silent….. And because sausages are best done slowly.
