a sixty fourth new poem ... 'wine tasting'

Wendy went wine
Tasting, Tuesday night,
Threw back five
Glasses of red,
Snouted six of
White; Wednesday
Woke up
Face down in a
Bowl of Cheerios
With the sad, mumbled
Morning light.

a sixty third new poem ... 'second practice'

Hamilton put down an ‘office copy’
Of FHM, thumbed his TV-sized
Mobile telephone for Twitter updates,
Pictures of gangsta mates
Playing GTA, Call of Duty, perused online
Beauty tips from Top Shop for men and then,
Feeling his sweet tooth,
Fumbled in the pockets of his
Nomex safety clothing for loose
Change and went to find Mercedes’
Chief Race Engineer or a steward to
Operate the paddock vending machines
And procure a can of brand
-ed  fizzy-pop, perhaps a packet of
Pringles, all the time tugging
At his fugging
Diamond-studded ear-ring,
Hearing engine noises and
The shrill tones of his zoned
Out wife.

a sixty second new poem ... 'leberwurst'

Merkel frowned darkly
When the cheese trolley
Was wheeled beside where
She sat and kept her shrivelled
Hands severely in her liver-
spotted lap. FFS,
THERE WAS NO MORE
LEBERWURST!!

a sixty first new poem ... 'vegetarian BBQ'

Stalin ate like
An absolute savage,
Stuffing spuds and BBQ'd
Broccoli down his
Wobbly gullet, burping
Like a horse in between
Mouthfuls – or so
Adolf thought as he
Chumbled wetly on
A salad leaf.

a sixtieth new poem... 'shame'

After publicly disowning Ben
As well as the
Flower Pot Men,
Bill sank deep into a
Compost of shame –
The root cause of course
Was vainglory and
Fame, fatal fame.

a fifty ninth new poem ... 'tiger'

Tiger’s tee shot
Ended up somewhere off
Interstate 70, so
He removed his shoes
And walked barefoot into
The desert.
Ken Brown, meanwhile,
Had already hired a
Reconnaissance plane.

a fifty eighth new poem ... 'boycott'

Geoffrey walked to
The wicket with a
Yorkshire pudding on
His head, batting pads
Made from butcher’s
Sausages and a stick of
Rhubarb under his arm.
