Clout Kraut
Sour Power
in the tower
The now or
nevermore
rousing bloused
lout scouts
pouting and pounding
hate resounding
from outhouse spouts
The bow on
rebel shore
doubt throughout
bouts of draught
their stout hounding
shouts enshrouded
loud and lauded
applauded
appalled
brawling
bawling
falling
sprawling
and sawing
the old ropes
hope loaded gold
and scrolls in
blindly
enfolded
bold slogans
into rogue
sons watching
pocket book
time bombs
tic
tocking
a populace stalking
and gawking
awkwardly
talk locked
cock blocked
and positive
their side is
sensitive to the
prerogative
we insist
exists
in mystic
histories we persist
in twisting
habitual sinners
kissing missiles
with
shit eating grins
as we
spin to win
gingerly administering
our wicked kingdoms
reckoning and
beckoning with
tiny hands
at forces
we
cant
understand
Justice
with her scales cut
only carries
a sword.

Hanker
flank ranks of lanky wankers in clanging spangled tankers
bang angry at banks of spanking tanglers with be-dazzled wranglers
dance frankly
into manky dank at cantankerous skank banquets with
stank of wangs
wagging at sagging languid hags passages
daftly plaster
vast gastric chasms with nasty nad spasms in
mad madames mansions
fathoms of bantam phantom pantomimes on stamps of fragment canvas.

Wrapt Packet
Max lacks practice
stacking whacking racquettes
in plastic baskets
cracking rack brackets
and taxing packets
of fat lacking flax crackers
he lapses backwards
snapping lacquered shackles
raises managers hackles
amasses classless rascals
hassels
laughs last at
clap happy vassals
and chalice wrasslers
with half mast
shaft tassels
in glass castles

Sticky
His business
pitching thistled
whistling missles
at vivid wickets
crickets finished
for pissed ticket stitchers
and livid pitcher grippers
whispers swiftly dip
and nick knacks
shift
in rucksacks
for kickbacks

Tipple
this miss
wistfully whisks bisquick
dripping tidbits
risks illicit business
begins ticking lists
of wicking dickies
and thick tricky slickers
picks up stickers
and snickers
quickly sips stiff liquids
then bickers
with brit wicker pickers
on which liquors quicker
their blistered limbs
twisting
like fitful
brick kicking misfits

Down Size
A new guise to surprise
high street wise spy flies
on sky pies from dime jivers
mind divers wipe pipes
with diapers from unripe tigers
kites brighten high wires
while vipers strike like
rhyme bikers
all wise to demise
of prime lives
in time spires
