Sloe Gin Fizzle


The frantic goose
on the short end
of the idiot's megaphone
shuffles through her 
primary school stars
and gargles,
I never read the fine print!
Down 
at the business end
an olde buoy bookworm
chews the vellum,
eschews the fat
and grows 
the grass tax.
This ain't like 
the end of World War Two
lady,
it's more like 
the Korean Conflict.
Harm's length 
is a short as the 
footnote's boot
coming at you
like Italy 
knocking Sicily 
for six
only it's gonna be
figures you owe.
Look,
it figures you owe.
The clause of recession
lurks in type as fine 
and tiny 
as a newborn's fingernail.
This new attention
to the details
ain't going down well
with the barnyard.
What the fuck?!
Said the urban
nest egg 
in white t-shirt
and leather sandals
pushing his organ 
grinder miracle
through 
the streak of dreams.
The bank
sold his mortgage
to a magnate
so strong
it sucked the nails
out of his cashmere teepee.
What the hell am I supposed to do??
What's my family supposed to do??
The dry cleaner 
and the finca boss 
pat him on the back 
and tell him 
they understand his frustration
but don't care.
Now take your skinny bitch
and semen sculptures with you 
down to the mission.
You're blocking our sun
and spoiling our 
sloe gin fizz.
