SEX CLAIMS! SEX CLAIMS!


Have you heard about the SEX CLAIMS! SEX CLAIMS!
They’re spinning them again,
Sending priests and politicians
Swirling down the drain.

There was a peer who liked peering,
Let’s call him Lord Groper
Often put his hand up
And not just to speak
But liberal ladies weren’t all so liberal
When they were tired of his groping
They all told their tales
And it all got leaked
It was denied, redacted
Admitted and retracted
Then the Party said that it might always have known
So Groper was thrown out,
They withdrew the whip
And his cover was blown
And sadly now Lord Groper has to
Carry on Groping, all on his own.

There was father O’Feely
A priest of deep feelings
Both inside and outside
The priestly robe
He tried to suppress it
But did keep expressing it
So the papacy moved him all over the globe
They sent him to Barbados, then to Mauritius
And when people there got suspicious
They sent him to Stoke
And the papal bureaucracy really believed in miracles
One day when Feely was stroking
He dropped dead of a stroke

We like reading bout the SEX CLAIMS! SEX CLAIMS!
Like to see them on the telly 
Or the internet screen
When some self important ratbag
Gets caught with their pants down
We think it’s a giggle, we think it’s a scream
And when we run out of
Celebs and their SEX CLAIMS!
We sit around making
SEX CLAIMS of our own
He did that to her and she did that to them
We take it in turns
We’re just a load of monkeys
Talking bout our SEX CLAIMS
Whilst the planet we’re on
Is starting to burn.

an ode inspired by a shower gel bottle and my heart


Your limes are so zingy
that they make
my pustules explode
YES
Your limes are so zingy
that they make
my pustules explode

they make my pimples erupt
then this disrupts
the traffic
because of the pus
that is blocking up
all of the roads

the council
gotta hire lorries
gotta hire pus clearing trucks
gotta hire men
with  brooms an shovels
to shovel up
all of the pus

YES

Your limes are so zingy
That when they cleanse my skin
they are the cause of
pus shovelling operations


YES
Your limes are so zingy
that they make
my pustules explode


INTERIOR PUMP VIEW

They took me and laid
My fat, sweaty hairy European body
Out on a cold table,
Because those educated ones,
The trained professionals
Were going to cut me
Whilst I was still alive,
To see the heart inside me.

But, luckily for me,
I was not a would-be conquistador
Carried to the peak of a pyramid
By Aztecs in Teotehuacan,
But another obese patient
Laid out for surgery
In a Harrow hospital

And the cutting edge professionals
Did not remove my pump from me
But they fed a minicam into it
On the end of a thin wire hose
Pushed up along my vein
Via a hole in my leg
And this showed me images of my heart
Pulsating on video screens.

And unlike the eviscerated
would-be conquistador
My heart was not the last thing
That I ever saw

So I can tell you now
That me heart looked like
One of the light shows
That I saw in my misspent youth
Projected on to night club walls

I am a pysychedelic man.
Whose pump still pumps
In spite of years of abuse
Still going
Like a repeatedly crashed car
That shouldn’t really
Still be on the road
But some things in my heart
Remain unseen
Even by the surgeons’ camera
My hate and my deception
My treachery and my depression,
but neither did the minature camera
objectively record
my love
or my compassion

ode from a hotel utilities room: Xmas Eve 2012


Lava, Lava, Lavadora

You have a fiery latin aura,

Unlike the boring and mundane,

Anglo-saxon washing machine.

Your sister Secadora

Can spin and make my trousers warmer,

But only you, Lavadora,

Can make my underpants come clean.

TROUSER SHORTAGE: A RATIONAL SOLUTION


TROUSER SHORTAGE: A RATIONAL SOLUTION

I gotta deal with a real
Trouser Shortage here.

I gotta deal with a real
Trouser Shortage here.

Either my trousers have
Shrunk into shorts
Or my legs
Have grown in the night
Like giant bamboos
Fertilised by elephant dung
And they’re now too long

SO, I gotta deal with a real
Trouser Shortage here.

But, I know whatta do
Yes indeed, yes I do
I’m gonna get austere
To deal with the Trouser Shortage here.

Gonna cut my legs off
Gonna amputate them both
And then I’ll trust in future growth

That’s how I’ll deal with my
Trouser Shortage here.

YES
That’s how I’ll deal with my
Trouser Shortage here.
