GRIM




The tiger has been put in the room for your own protection

And peace of mind. Which particular piece matters little.

Now that Dennis the Menace's nemesis has returned,

Armour-plated and caricatured.

Write to the PM recommending terms of reference.

The seat of the fire fails to ignite the conscience

Of sociopaths in its defence. You can lay bare the truth to power

Till they're all true blue in the face, sunshine.

Rock Feilding-Mellen remains unchanged. 

Mind the octopus. Beware of the Mogg.  

Punks have trekked from afar to secure oddments they crave.

The charade of charity means they dwell in a cave. Safer.

The pathologically polite and energetic

 Sextegenerian vegetarian Aquarian librarian has had

 Nineteen nervous breakdowns since 1966. The stress

Of repressed rudeness and the full-blown rhyme scheme induce

Psychosis. Only occasionally in Chile,

Do Los Carabineros respond to violent crime

Speedily and bravely, if you're wealthy. If you're not,

Fuck off and die

And see if we even notice, let alone pretend to.  

Mind the octopus. Beware of the Mogg.  

The stay-put strategy has failed so many times already

It's a wonder why you'd even try

To make sense of the insanity

As you jam towels under the frame to stop austerity

Burning you alive, live on social media, as former ghost

Councillors deliver death straight to your own doorstep

At great expense to poll taxpayers and the poor. 

Mind the octopus. Beware of the Mogg. 

Blinkered by business society to see only bottom line

The Derby winner's girl drops a freshly laid turd

Into Lady Aurelia's trust fund. Shopping the summer season with

Pandora. Binging on bling is the latest in trending

@ #BOLLOCKS! Get an Amazon Echo Dot

For zero pounds of flesh. Yet.  

Mind the octopus. Beware of the Mogg.  

Heidi's teardrops drizzle piss in parliament, again.

You're seven months gone,

With only a plastic sheet to protect from the pain.

There are sartorial rules to abide by.

 Jumpsuits and thin straps are off the menu

 To make way for unjust desserts:

 More pain. Those pesky high-heels,

Liable to set off an IED at any moment. On Ladies' Day,

That would be in-appropriate!  

Mind the octopus. Beware of the Mogg.  

Originality is over-rated, under-valued

And never comes in packets of three. Remember,

You're heavily pregnant and PVC offers protection

From misogyny only for the duration

Of the Arab spring. Sing your life,

Any fool can think of words that don't break copyright.

Subsisting on cigarettes mostly, Patricia smuggled snails

Under her tits. Magnetic Maria tweets: Disgust is marvellous!

Undetected by Alexa, her slug breath glistens.

So far, so grim. 

Mind the octopus. Beware of the Mogg.
