Stalinism book,wind chime,comb,velvet collar
We need that Stalinism book today
My wind chime is calling me by the way
Where is my favorite comb
Who wore my velvet collar to that tomb

thumb tack
night light
I got the local newspaper from the bottom step,
And I bought a pen that had been owned by Johnny Depp.
Then I put a thumb tack through my thumb,
So can't light the nightlight - help me, Mum!
raincoat
wainscot
waistcoat
a dvd of Wayne's World
From the failing class of the Poetry school of 'I am a garden of red and black sausages'
We turn our eyes, in raincoats, to the world.
It looked like wainscot worn from use. In early days, a girl'd
Sit gazing at a purple waistcoat, all that she could see.
To finish the metaphor off, she spat on a DVD of Wayne's world, said 'dude,' and gave it to me.
Stretlight

Ryvita

Stretlight
Broken tree
Ryvita
Torah.
Streetlight parties, damn dance wild chiffon scarves
A broken tree huddled in halves.
The broken Ryvita of life half hidden under the bed
With the Torah, a Gideon Bible, and the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

Hair dryer
Lumpfish roe
I dreamt about Hegel last night; it was sick.
He asked me to supply kitchen paper for his nosebleed, then said 'Quick!
My collosal blood loss is important; put your hair dryer away
Or I will ensure a lumpfish roe bites you today.

Pareve butter
a girdle
Une bordelaise sur une balancoire - beauty.
A bordelais guidebook - duty.
Pareve butter spread all over your belly
Will lubricate the girdle to squeeze you like jelly.
currant bun
History of The Jewish People
samurai sword
igloo
Société haute: listening how a currant bun
Is exactly like the history of the Jewish people: 'both have no sun
Above a place to call their own, no samurai sword
To fight with; erm, both hide in igloos when they're bored.'

Mascara
An Epée
A squirrel sat on my guitar amplifier
And played with a piece of corkboard and wire
Mascara dripped from my eyes
As I tried an epee for weight and size.
gypsum

foreign correspondent
toast
Gypsum in fertilizers makes me sneeze;
I like to play the trumbone in the trees;
With a foreign correspondant I'd like to while away my days;
I'm scared of toast and its bread-related gaze.

Wind-up watch
Yellow highlighter
Badminton racket
Finnegan's Wake
A wind-up watch is a waste of wrist
Use yellow highlighter to pick out the essentials on your shopping list.
I can't sleep for all that badminton racket downstairs,
And I'd rather have Fisherman's Wharf than Finnegan's Wake upstairs.
sapphire
samfire
fire
cable TV
Cheap sapphires, rubies-- they cannot please me!
Neither can samfire: I'd rather sit in an yew tree
And watch cruel fire burn Neon Pidgeon shops--
Pity the fool who watches cable TV until he or she drops!

Lemon peels

A juicer juices the fruit,
I give index cards the boot.
While I decorate my ears with curled lemon peels,
And pick up a complimentary pen to see how it feels.
divers' logbook

furry rug
parquet floor
This is a divers' logbook of your old promises.
In the mouse cage, I can hear voices
Squeak 'Give us a furry rug to sleep on,
A parquet floor and a holiday in Dijon.'

Train ticket to Newcastle
Weeping willow tree
Scrap paper
Chalk.
She was sorry to find that the train ticket to Newcastle only went to Under Lyme,
Which gave her with the weeping willow tree of her dreams precious little time.
Moodily, she crumpled some scrap paper containing Ryvita crumbs,
And crushed the chalk in her pocket with her thumbs.

Palmolive Soap
I sing the religion of Toastracks:
In garters, we pray to bread; the only thing this lacks
Are purple braces for our fervent priest,
And palmolive soap on which he can feast.

The 1998 diary is six years old
Blackhead remover will restore pure gold.
