Your Father Walks Like A Crab: Poetry for people who hate poetry

The Woman is Dead

Standard

‘The Woman’ is dead

Yet nobody cries

Reckless ‘sexy things’

Usurped her instead

‘The Woman’ is dead

And nobody cares

Town-painting ‘hotties’

Have taken her stead

Mad Threads

Standard

 

Said the Dove to the Owl

Human beings!

Could their threads be mad?

Its hard to explain

Why more upon more

Their clothes misbehave

Could their threads be mad?

 

Said the Owl to the Dove

Human beings!

Their threads must be mad

What else would explain

Why clothes hate to stay

On their women’s skin

Their threads must be mad
