Tomato soup
Steel drums
The French secret service
Dandruff in a box


The tomato soup of my dreams is interrupted by
The sound of steel drums played by a Patagonian guy.
In my befuddled state the French secret service knocks
And delivers dandruff in a box.

I chant 'The Dream' by Mikhail Lemonotov over again,
Hoping I'll fish my blutack from the drain.
I'm hit, suddenly, by a deviant's bible that someone throws
Wanting me to come to their green bungalows.

A post-modern advert with dadaist graphics
A wave to McTag across the bad traffic
And Eurovision is such an old-fashioned idea, almost as old-fashioned as a hard, curly-edged sandwiches being the only food in a British pub
Whereas 4 fake tickets to Cuba could well be used to listen to the Buena Vista social club.

I was wearing white cotton gloves for some reason down near the town hall,
With a tail coat on top of it all;
Some weird man asked if I were understanding
There was a hole in my coat, through which a pound coin was crash landing.

My Armenian visa was tattered and torn
I wasn't allowed in to play my French horn
But I managed a tango with a girl on the gate
She had a velvet collar that left me in a state (But not Armenia)

Megaphone
Limestone wall
Able seaman
Lassoo

The sounds of a megaphone drift up from the parade ground
Past the limestone wall that's built around
The able seaman plays the kazoo
And the midshipman catches him in his lasso.

My sister-in-law from hell's here, she's an ax-wielding maniac
Who's tried to force me into a wedding I think's cack.
If only I could crack on her head a horseshoe,
I could make a great escape to Uruguay's green pastures new.

An icepick in her little head
A Flaubert novel on my bed.
Basil Fawlty for her sleeping companion - oh my!
So you've a broken showerhead? So have I.

If metaphysical poets survived, they would call the sister a yellow sleeping bag,
Blotched with time's floods, flea-filled, and like a hag
To behold. Some'd be an underdone suet pudding on a plate;
I'd be an emery board on a white gate.

Discarded spreadsheet
Insecticide
Hungarian course
Cooking apples


If the dadaist artists survived, they would take a discarded spreadsheet,
Spray it with an insecticide such as DEET,
Write the contents of a Hungarian course backwards in tiny italic hand,
And display it with cooking apples on a ginger and blue plastic stand.

Bah! I have sung of kitchen paper in three cities,
And now I shall sing of a slow cooker and Irish ditties
Someone claiming to be my husband made me sing...
I calmed him down with a Dictionary of Proverbs, which fixes everything.

Diarist
Chewed bottle caps
Raw Baked Alaska
Green hairspray



A diarist sat on the green bench under the chestnut tree,
Chewing bottle caps and discarding them for all to see.
Raw baked Alaska oozed from under his hat
Which he'd removed so his green hairspray could bea subject of gossip and chat.

Devon cream can sometimes be used seedily,
And second-hand roses banded about greedily--
You know where you are with a green clockwork radio
While listening to an analgesic-related show.

The laser-quality paper is all over the floor
La Repubblica is a doorstop stopping the door.

Here's a fridge with an illegal copy of The Waste Land in it.

The German referee blew the whistle
The Scotsman told him what to do with a thistle
Taff whipped open his brown velcro'd macintosh
Paddy's hat was a floppy-disk drive which was coloured dark black & posh.

Caravan
Pharmacist
Soup kitchen
Encyclopedia salesman
Trekking across the desert with my caravan
With a pharmacist, a gymnast, and a handyman;
We encountered a soup kitchen in Timbuctoo,
And an ecdysiast and a crazed encyclopedia salesman too.

Glass after glass of wine will mean that you fall down;
Every rhetorician longs to be a clown.
I have spilt Welsh rarebit on my Welsh dresser,
And I broke my kitchen sink pretending to be Edward the Confessor.

The aphids chomp at the peach-soft roses' hearts,
Pepto-Bismol is the tipple after nights of farts.
Beck's Mutations CD
Is as useless as a beheading knife to someone like me.

In the near future, you'll need a discount card
To buy spearmint chewing gum or listen to the Bard.
Protest against this now, by putting sticky label
On Number 10's door, or throwing prunes at their table.

Wearing my tattered green sandals
I solemnly light some ebony candles
No need to use the dreadfully tacky chandelier
Or waste a two euro coin to watch John Major leer.
