Squeedly Tweedler

The Squeedly Tweedler had flolloping flippers

which fitted quite neatly in fluffy blue slippers.

Simply adapted to searching for food;

a strangety willoping flibberry dude.

His passion, his fashion, was bilberry pie,

and oh for a snifter he’d happily sigh.

Squeedly Tweedler would fargle and blither;

to the bilberry bush he’d slantily slither.

But n’er on a Monday and n’er in June,

would the Squeedly Tweedler, a Bilberry, prune.

For Bilberry had to be purpley ripe,

or the Squeedly Tweedler’s tummy would gripe.

He picked them and snicked them and slabbered in glee,

and frugally baked some in pastry for tea.

Then Squeedly Tweedler would off with his trove

and slantily slither to Niggaly Grove.

There he would trade with Bimble O’Nimble

for Flimberry Jam purveyed by the thimble.

Bimble O’Nimble was blighty and bleer;

he often wore hats through which he would peer.

Bimble O’Nimble would scaggle and skeek

for many a mile, to Flimberry seek.

Oddly in June his fare would abound,

and only on Monday was easily found?

But all became clear for their prize was the same

“Bilberry,” “Flimberry,” what’s in a name?

So Squeedly Tweedler and Bimble O’Nimble,

their pie and their jam (purveyed in a thimble)

It seems were in tune (their tastes much alike)

did gobble and gibble and cheer with a shrike!

Morecambe Bay

How lucky am I
When every day
I see Herons hunting
In Morecambe Bay

How blessed am I
To take in the morning
when Bitterns flock
As the light is dawning

Carib

Leviathon

The gargantuan iron leviathan cuts deeply through the murk
And a twinkling star plays diamond to the hazy mist.
Below the silence of the hidden power is broken
but only by the gush of angry, froth crested waves
In the wee hours.
In the gloom of the night, then the mind holds fears
Untold fears of desperate loneliness and isolation
Of floating alone as light and hope passes.
But there is nothing, not even a gull to witness
The fluorescent swirling magic that teases the eye
Into believing that something beautiful flashes by
Tainted only by the moonlight and perception.
Illusion maybe, but only a prelude to what may come.
For the clouds race and the swell begins to growl
Knowing wise minds turn to within and pray for calm.

The Man on the train.

The man on the train.

Tall and ruddy
was this man
He propped his cycle against the doors
I noted its impossibly high seat.

Sitting crouched over his lap
He looked down his long nose
he was frantically leafing
through photocopied pages.

Openshaw Mill and the History of Bury
were galvanising this man.

His whispy, mad scientist hair
was testament to the character.
Like Wurzel Gummage or Doc
More like Doc though.

With a biro he made small tracks
on outlines and maps
back and to he flicked through the pages.

In his mind, following some path
to an eventual Eureka.
I have come to the conclusion that this man,

Was a Treasure Hunter
And he was about to strike gold.

But when he got off the train at Chorley
I knew he was home.
