From high up in the hawthorn tree
a beautiful song drifted down to me
I couldn’t see the melodic bird
but instantly knew what I had heard
not a skylark or even nightingale tweet
but a songthrush with its song so sweet.

Wearing dayglo, his cycling helmet back to front
we know he’s a typical safety conscious idiot
while missing the sign he’s run into the bush
I think it’s time he went home for lunch

Ratty loved to sit on the grassy bank of the winding river. Relaxing in the warmth of the sun it was hard to stop his little eyes from closing, lean back and just lie with his head resting on one of the soft, sheep-nibbled tussocks. Today though it was not to be for he only had one thought in mind. Staring into the dark, gaping, arched mouth of the tunnel he was eagerly awaiting the next rush of foam coming out into the light of day. His nostrils and whiskers started to twitch and quiver in anticipation as he heard the iron grill rising, knowing a rush of sweet-smelling sewage would soon come pouring out once more as another mass of rubbish was discharged into the sparkling stream. Each time it occurred he would dive into the water, paws outstretched as he paddled through the grey scum on the surface of the water and with a merry smile on his face sift through the dark tumbling cloud examining any floating lumps for delicacies to take home to his little burrow where he could spread them out before Mistress rat and after she had made her choice they would both slowly eat their chosen meal.

The earth, ourselves and all we know
of things called atoms is composed
joined up they form molecules
which we learn about in school
but think of them as fast-moving flies
whose movement makes the temperature rise

The little fairy’s wings were the wrong way round
they couldn’t lift her off the ground
and her daddy didn’t like to see her sadly sitting there
so he made a little engine to lift her in the air
and here we can see a picture of the lass
the engine in her hands and exhaust pipe up her back

I looked at the word froward as you might, and thought surely this cannot be right, for even though I’m quite good with words, this was one that I had never heard so as I found the word intriguing I looked on Google for its meaning

O’er hill and dale, from forests green
came fairies , denizens of dreams
for as was the custom in this land
a trial was set to claim the hand
of the fair and beautiful Trixie,
daughter of the King of pixies
From northern lands came Knghts and Lords,
all were armed with lance or sword
warrior magicians, heroes, clerics,
and dark skinned Sheikhs and mystics
their swords and scimitars made of gold
eager to claim this prize foretold
in legends and their country’s fables
discussed at length o’er dining tables
in an enchanted forest this cottage stands
invisible to any mortal man
but if somehow this house be seen
t’would appear nought but a dream
Funnier than a sharp stink in your eye...
