Franciszka Themerson's Thoughts - A Tanka

City days endless
Talks with the bowler hatted
Businessmen who stick
Fascinating games of small
Talk issue avoidance tricks

Thee Slone Ranger

Thee Slone Ranger

Sums it up for me
Thee Slone Ranger
Gleefully pearling their signage
Let's go W.T.O.
Best Chelsea smiles
Alright for you
Chelsea smiles
For the rest us

Do the Write Thing - A Tanka

Do the write thing hear
Listen the one before you
Leave peaved for those who
Don't listen for the second
One's the hardest to retrieve 

Insect Inspect


Fruitflies fuckin' love
Fresh French polish
Not quite wet
Appear from fuck knows
Elect to inspect
Your chiffoneer
Cabinet
Or jewellery box
With daffodil inset
Look close host
See these
Fleamarket
Marquetry gets
Perusing all over
With tiny
Fuckin' clipboards
I bet

Pub Conjuror - A Tanka


Thought for a minute 
That some magic bastard had
Erased my pages
Between smoking practice and
Disappearing my wages

Preston Rules - A Tanka

She'd greet "Alright bird?" 
No matter if male or a
Rizla 'tween pref'rence
Skirt's airline or crack's hairline
All fine lines blurred "Alright bird?"

Continuous Bar Retainer - A Tanka

Down the pub nods he
Keeps wearing glasses while I
Keep wearing glasses
Schtum starring in the crude noise
Wearing looped glasses anon.
