Yellow dreams

 Oh yes well

What a hell of a bite

The catfish came calling

At the end of the night

The yard arm was loading

The gunnel was tight

The fellow

All snowballed

The kennels were bright

Dogs lost their tails

The cops topped their trite

Terse remarks were hurled at the hearse

As it had parked on double yellow lines

I flew off the handle

Then bended my spoon

I blew out the candle that lit up the moon

It was more or less what I had come to expect

From a room full of rejects

But surely I thought there must be one or two who could provide the necessary paperwork

Oh boring how do you do ?


I shouldered a rugby ball

And it transpired you did too

Well what do you know

Now we're both black and blue

Forgive me for asking but haven't I seen you somewhere before?

Yes it was yesterday on the stairs down

To the crypt

You were visiting Egypt

And the tomb of the unknown Mummy

Well mum's the word after all

Afterburn?

Burn after reading

Read after burning

Hold up in a cabin on the Klondike

Got to escape the shape I'm in

Been a mine of gold and a cup of tin

But I'm coming through

I'm nearly ready 

To pull myself together
