lyrics

She said: I’m a loose cannon;
An unopened yoghurt pot,
past its sell by date and full of gas!

He said: I’m not.
I’m a matchstick model replica
of something from the past;
I take ages to assemble
but I’m not built to last.

She said: Oh, I know….
what you mean;
I’ve crashed, I’ve burned, I’ve splintered,
and I’ve vented my spleen;
I’m a full throttle talker,
it would take Murray Walker
to do the commentary
on the documentary
about me.

He said: Oh, should we order food now?

She said: Yes, I could eat a horse.

He said: Oh, I’m a vegan.

She said: I was on the sauce
last night; I’ve got a mean hangover
and a raging appetite.

He said: I just drink ‘eau’ you know, water;
I’m a tad faddish;
I like alfalfa sprouts and radish;
saltless, GM free, organic;
can’t touch Indian or Hispanic
or anything exotic; I’m on anti-biotics
and I’ve got a touchy tract;
it won’t tolerate lact-
ose.

She said: Oh, I know, I’m just the same;
I can’t tolerate tractors
or life in the slow lane;
I’m an urban girl at heart;
the only time I’ll look at a cow
is when it’s pickled in the name of art.

He said: Oh! So you like art?

She said: No.

about

Helên Thomas UK

Reformed poet. Woman one from wonky synth duo Tingle In The Netherlands.
You will find dark, difficult, experimental music here and by way of a total contrast, some up tempo poetry for children and, if I can find it all, an ad hoc archive of randomness for grown ups and idiots.
Make of this what you will. Note to parents: not all of the adult poems are suitable for children. Please supervise.
