Gaunt and tremulous, fragile and strong
Quivering betwixt matter and mind
Slightly sharpened on the end-notes
When by all sense of reason he’d be bound to go down

Slightly sharpened in white suit,
Elegant in suede chair , suits you sir
Mercedes and chablis, champagne for the lady
My dear you mean the world to me

Driver please take me to Assbury Park
For its cold outside and the passage is dark
you will all miss me when I am gone
Scarborough Fair will have nothing on this ballyhoo!

Slightly sharpened in smart tie
I miss you even before you’re dead

They Kill Wild Horses

Why don’t they tell you on the package

You have to sift thru all the wreckage

Today we dine

On the dross that Mephistopheles chucked in his car

They kill wild horses

on the hoof , or when they’re chasing a truck

they kill wild horses

and if they had a choice they’d lay an egg like a duck

Ol Mephistopheles had troubles of his own

when his cat ran out on him he totally froze

Guns ablaze, he came out swingin doubling in size

every 15 minutes, like yeast on the rise

Shoes Yay High

When  i met you you had no shoes
I took your socks so you had nothin to lose
Gave you corn plasters as you were a wreck
Toe-to-toe jammin’ like Greg-o-ry Peck

I’m a sole man believe me I aint no heel
Runnin with devil never did me no good
Goes to show the power of a single banana peel

When your shoes are yay high in North Carolina
Certain people will take heed
Archin like an alley cat spyin a panther
you know both of dems a dyin’ breed (and dey knowz it)

Gran’s Remedy aint no cure for the devil roosted ‘neath my shins
Doctor Podra, please please can’t you see the state that i’m in

Well when a sleep-walkin cheetah wakes up,
puts out his butt and decides enough is enough
everybody gotta make their own minds up
cos they’re free as feet footloose and fucked up!

Distant Kiwi

Filed under: animal, anthropomorphism, beauty, Moon, nature — Stevie McCabe @ 5:00 pm

Distant Kiwi, can hardly see you
Distant Kiwi – wouldn’t wanna be you
Late at night can hardly see your feathers
Call those wings?  They’re barely tethers!

Why do you only come out at night?
Can you see your reflection in the moonlight?
The grubs and worms you swallow
Find your light-shyness hard to swallow

Distant Kiwi what a big nose you have
- All the better to sniff out frozen ants!
Distant Kiwi you’re a kiwi icon
- Better than a fern or rugby pants!

Distant Kiwi, don’t think you can see me
With your day-blind eyes squinting in the sunlight
Distant Kiwi, can I get you some glasses?
Or will you forever hide in the night?

beautiful swooping big bird weighing down the tree like a flying moa
not extinct but distinct and nearly senile
such it its wont and its plump belly
fired up with rotting flame tree leaves

crapping sterling seeds like they were weeds
all over the twitterverse
its a fiery ring in reverse
killing me softly then quietly
placing me in his private hearse
right next to the horse of Damiem Hirst

flogged to death i’ve never seen such a blue pointer
infested seawater shelling out peas like they were rainwater

copping peas, popping corn in the popping microwave sizzle-pan
you can catch ot as cats can if you can catch as cats can

no need to get catty, pointing out the fiery teaspoon arguments
all the argie bagie has surely become a moot point
fiscal deficit is neither here nor therewhen the postman lays a steaming brownie on your doorstoop
who are you gonna call, Dre, Jay-Z or Snoop?
are you in the Compton loop?

What steaming brownie troupe did you emanate from
high on crack and toting a machine gun
shooting blanks in the alley like a mod exile

thumbing my face with your finger killing me softly with your pesticide
killing me softly but surely with your pestilent petsicide
Oh well all kidding aside you will one day broadly kill us all with your virulent pesticide

Bleeding nastily like a huge weeping sore grumpily making its way to the fore
rotten to the core, seeping white cells like a dead jackdaw
so many people look at all the lonely people with the mustard and mayo right there at the door
pillish brain salad at the left with some salt and pepper, tell me if i’m being a bore

Hall of Fame

lamb is to virgin as virgin is to shepherd -
olive oil is as plain to see as spots to a leopard
A lamb on the lam has a long way to run
i rest my case, you know that you’re the only one
alive and kicking like a deathly mule standing
firing just on one cylinder like a tooth–guard that needs filling

a lamb on the lam has a long way to run
i rest my case, you know that you’re the only one
alive and kicking like a deathly mule standing
firing just on one cylinder like a tooth–guard that needs filling
the last mule standing is as sterile as the first
pointedly pointing our what is not the last may well be the first
spitting tacks, disputing facts like theres no tomorrow
hurry up and finish that last cup of sorrow

Specious allies fist each other in the final hunger games
Let me know whatever happened to dear Leeanne Rhymes
Buster was her flatmate if I recall
I read all about it in the sun, in the Sun filled up with my bladder gall
cab driver, cab calloway on the seizure medication
can you please drop me off at Waterloo station
remember theres a womble the one each for each of us
each one carrying a fetid hankyloload full of pus

to throw in each of our eyes, one at a time,
even whilst Rome burns, feels like acid on Leeanne Rhymes
Buster sticking to the side of your lip like day-old gum glue on the chubby flimsy skin packet
a womble couldn’t find more crap on wimbledon common with a tennis racket

Rob Lamb as a Lamb on the lam I can only say .. run..now…
Barney Rubble is dead, a fiery womble pecks at his seams
he lives in his dreams
how many lonely people ponder what it all means
out the back near the jar by the door with the sewing machine
Legally binding that contract is made of paper

50 or so breweries steam their goods on the coast route
purple haze frankly covers almost the whole district.

Gloating like a feedback loop, giving them back a favour like a sailor’s wheel
Grumpy as a witches brew punching above its weight in the grim reapers wrecking crew
stellar as a lamb on the lam with with a square case full of stolen ham
licking the fat like a cat with the cream only spilling out seed onto the feed-trainer’s all round muffler  cover

made out of a tin can and feeding the plumb bird like its ready to roost,
roosting with its bird-egg like guns on the roof
firing on all one cylinders like a pointing finger ambling fatewise
creaming off the best for last simply for hoops

green around the gills red as a beet
blue as blue can be
pink as a newborn cows teat
high as a kite blue as a nun
steaming like a freshly laid
pile of cow dung

its down pat like a steaming cowpat baking in the field
streaking across the field like you wouldn’t believe
streaky bacon passed through the sieve of disbelief
with a string of pearls which signifies loss to the family
on the lam
like general Steven Segal Hamm
Hammer horror every evening with the baseball bat
Nothing abates base battery like a a hen and chicken factory
Libelous licenciousness,  leave it back in the liquor cabinet

Chasing it like a chasseur chaser leaving on a jet plane
sweeter than a plate of treats oj blueberry sunday
i found my thrill there, i think you may too
lets go watch the submarine  racers and get stranded at the dive-in, what a to-do

That paper’s not worth the paper its written on
spilling out the back passage like Mitt romneys baby cat with mittens oN
she should be wearing kid gloves to protect that beauty
welcome to my nightmare take this ticket to your call of duty

its a fecal matter to be disposed of with care, oh yeah
like it or lump it it seedy and its always there
foaming or steaming, watery or bumpy
love it or leave it you can never save it for later
its done and dusted once it hits the drop-zone
the last mule standing is as sterile as the first
pointedly pointing our what is not the last may well be the first
spitting tacks, disputing facts like theres no tomorrow
hurry up and finish that last cup of sorrow

Specious allies fist each other in the final hunger games
Let me know whatever happened to dear Leeanne Rhymes
Buster was her flatmate if I recall
I read all about it in the sun, in the Sun filled up with my bladder gall

cab driver, cab calloway on the seizure medication

each one carrying a fetid hankyloload full of pus
to throw in each of our eyes, one at a time,
even whilst Rome burns, feels like acid on Leeanne Rhymes
Buster sticking to the side of your lip like day-old gum glue on the chubby flimsy skin packet
a womble couuldn’t find more crap on wimbledon common with a tennis racket
Barney Rubble is dead, a fiery womble pecks at his seams
he lives in his dreams
how many lonely people ponder what it all means
out the back near the jar by the door with the sewing machine
Legally binding that contract is made of paper
on the lam

Droopy drawers need some wiping once yer done
always whats with the heads-up on the green detail,
sensing weights like the setting sun
feeding the snail shell and all grunting like a pig on the lam with a side of lamb

to kill a mockingbird is no easy feat,
if you had big feet you could stomp on it from a great height
in the plain day of light, if you held your hand out maybe one would alight,
I doubt it though I don’t think you could stop it swirling in flight

spinning like a dervish-top, round and round like a mixer/blender
to slender to be a gender-bender
a huff aand a puff and the whole house of cards comes tumbling down
like a sandcastle built on feet of clay

its cold and windy outside who’ll your iglesias be bringing down when he comes into town
feelings like a feeling blistering through the windows of your mind
stealing stolen kisses like they were on open display
in the glassy cabinet they were placed in when you first stole them

a feeble paper bag full of coughed up sick blood and mucus
like a wind sock of creamning soda and i quote the accusers
a paper bag of old glory, welting with the stench of older glory
steaming like a milksop, thats the story morning glory

its still the same old story a case of do or die
indifference is always at the hem of your sleeve
spinning like a dervish-top
who are you going to believe?

A fantail farted

Filed under: 2012 stuff, animal, anthropomorphism, beauty, destiny, Love, seething rage, Time — Stevie McCabe @ 12:19 pm

Yo yo yo it’s like a fantail farted in here
Lighting up the air with his one eyed stare
Lighting up the tree like a goddam Xmas tree
Lighting up the air like a captain of industry

Nothing to see here nothing to be
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort thee
Stay the course, stand your ground as the colossus of rhodes puts up another road block
Chock full of numbskull nuts , saving the best till last
On yer last legs the future is in your past

Teaching and screaming and learning the ropes
A waiter waits idly like a soap on a rope
He will never ever ever be pope
Where there’s hopeless beginnings there may be hope
The final solution is at the end of this rope

Balloon moon

Filed under: 2012 stuff, animal, beauty, bleak, destiny, fear, history, Moon, seething rage, Tide, Time — Stevie McCabe @ 12:18 pm

Balloon moon I’ll be down soon
Maybe sooner than you know it
30 ft flames light the dawns early light
Oh say can you see what the press will call it

A balloon moon, au claire de la lune
A Nice day for a ballon d’essai tune
A nice day to start again
Sister shotgun wearing a sorghum grin

A steely grin is what you need
When u hit the wires ignition is imminent
No time to consult the manual of how-to
Drop like a led balloon, deflated without u

Sink like a line zapped luftballon
The moons a balloon, let me inflate you
Hook line and sinker whats the matter whats up
Sinkin within or without you

Sinkin and swimming
Pedal to the wheel
Steely grin tells em you got the metal
Cinnamon pinwheel donkey-tail spin

Exfoliation with a loofah

Filed under: 2012 stuff, animal, anthropomorphism, beauty, Beliefs, destiny, efficacy, People, Psychology, Songs, Time, Tragedy — Stevie McCabe @ 10:15 am

Exfoliation with a loofah
How hard can it be
Don’t like cricket, don’t much fancy Betchadupa
Scratching at the seams like a buck-eyed dream

From gay Paree she came
Loaded up fully with a 10-inch loofah
Booked out till xmas with her high-price dreams
Scrathing the surface and ripping the seams

Pushin too hard can leave a sever welt
Welterweights scrap over which is worse
Paying more taxes and a shrinking wallet
Or the cold death of the universe

Scraping skin like ajax on steel
Scouring, not harsh scratching that will leave you limp
A positive imprint, a possible match
Looky here, loofah breeder is quite a catch!

A Good Itch

Filed under: 2012 stuff, Ambivalence, Anger, animal, anthropomorphism, evil, fashion, fear — Stevie McCabe @ 9:17 am

A good itch today is hard to find
A good scratch where the sun don’t shine
Like a rhesus monkey on a 12 month high
Eating a banana split with Spanish fly

What a tale, what a tail what a tale of woe
Heel toe heel and Dosey Doe
Squeal like a monkey sting like a bee
Steal through the night like a fox on heat

Into the darkest nite since the ice age
It takes a village to build a palisade
Hammer and sickle at it hammer and tongs
Totally hammered like cheech and chong
