Boom Says Blast

 boom says blast

days gone past

far too fast

cannot last

firefly

will not die

hope says I

birdlike cry

never ask why

it's not the point

the point is not

is not the point

to have a point

or may be no point

indeed in deed

I'm deid

purpose and meaning

always gleaning

noise from a distance

fashions resistance

babies are Christened

waterpoured rinsened

all hail the persistence

soaking in knowledge

lie plates of porridge

or trekking to forage

allsorts of garbage

like samuel babbage

and dark green leafed cabbage

the pixie in lot number two

enjoyed murmurs of praise from the zoo

collapsed in a heap

at the wall it had dreeped

and found it was world war two

porpoise is extnct

on ther brink

of the kitchen sink

would cause such a stink

as if somehow to link

to the academy think

or the old blind man's wink

as the champagne cups clink

surreal like a seal

bred for its veal

as the vegans will kneel

to pray God to unkeel

the supporters who feel

they need zealots and zeal

and dance reel to reel

in order to steal

the racing car's wheel
