Tubercular Ale and Syphilitic Dogs
you appear
said solicitous brander
as cheerful

as a blistered
big toe
what is it with you?

i, replied mcguire,
am bloated
with bile and dole

did i not warn you
brander scoffed
against the piebald dragon?

the landlord has
a dirty pump and his beer
is likewise unsound

mcguire mutterd
foul imprecations
into his beard

causing
a mass exodus
of baby hamsters

it's not the dragon
you soulless ponce
he growled at length

'tis the gossip
that has me wounded
to my inmost heart

you and fat alice
from the sweetshop?
bantered brander

naughty naughty!
i did not think
you had it in you

that i do not
mcguire snapped,
more hamsters fleeing

at least not
for fat alice
her idea of a party

is drinking
melted wine gums
and she possesses

the cultural development
of a licorice-free
licorice allsort

It is all lies
put about
by peregrine the pimp

who has had it in for me
ever since
i demanded a refund

when maltese matilda
fainted at the sight
of my undershirt

why, when i was lying
in my sickbed -
with the clap

interrupted brander
that you got
from fat alice -

not a bit of it
it was
a chest infection

no doubt caught
from the tatty
and tubercular

clientele
of monro's off licence
or monro's

tatty
and tubercular
brown ale

while i was thus
coughing out
unused internal organs

and some
that were past
their shelf life

that peregrine
was holding court
in the thatcher's head

spreading filth
about me
and fat alice

at once
brander
was all concern

you want he asked
we should arrange for perry
a little party?

just him and me
and a few
of the lads?
