there was a cuckoo who hated clocks
he prefered to nest down at the docks
watch the souls ship out west
on a ship called the jest
that cuckoo waiting in odd worn socks

there was a pot of frocked leprechauns
that buggered with vigor their flock's fawns
when caught they fled back home
to their wizard the gnome
to draw their new flocks using crayons

there's a compulsive liar called jones
whose phone exposed his rotten cell bones
he's full of hot foul air
that killed all the care bears
while raising a brood of faciest clones

a god passed a tortphant one gray day
that liked to eat cakes of clay and hay
he bathed in spiced gold rum
when he was feeling glum
until the glum feelings did allay

there was a species called pooman
who thought gods gave them acumem
so they built a sex bomb
to kiss goodnight at prom
their love preserved in bitumen

pooman- like a human but shittier
the sins of the father
Bullyboy stopped
hitting me
with his
storm twisted
windmill blades
when he began
storing
in the schools
cleaning closet
i had the
key for
his
intoxicating
chattering
bottles of gin
he sold
lunch time
on fridays
his customers
included
the
emo seagulls
that flocked
about
and the
type cast
cool lads
and the
hot girls
they had
weekend
parties with
Bullyboy would
drop by
now and then
after
i'd finished
my work of
mopping away
the days
education
off the floors
he'd twist
open a bottle
sit at the
teacher's desk
and
chat
over gin
like
we were
old friends
he'd been an altar boy
he'd killed his pet dog
then his folks split up
his older brother
was a
retired lay assistant
as well
now an
entrepreneuring bootlegger
they lived with their dad
a womanising pilot
Bully's girlfriend
was one of those
"hot new
asian girls"
and
when she kissed him
"her tongue
probed
his mouth
like a stiff
little cock"
he told
Bullyboy
retired
as a student
joined the army
got the boot
for shooting
his instructor
sergeant Arse
in the arse
and had
at some point
exited the world
stage right
unforgiven
by the time
3 worn out
scholarly
years on
i trudged
home
one bright day
to find a
fantail flying
in and out
of our
wolf proof house
mother
had been chattering
over
the towns border fence
with old Iris
our neighbour
and
had dark news
" Rumple
you remember
that
Father Clown who
chased after us
to get you
to be his
altar boy
well he's just
been locked up
for
sexually molesting
those poor souls
my gut chunned
my head spun
i finally
understood
Bullyboy's
comparison

authors note
In Māori mythology, the pīwakawaka (fantail) was responsible for the presence of death in the world.So seen in a house is thought to be bad luck as it is seen as a harbinger of death.
in my poem pīwakawaka is just the harbinger of bad news.
the one that got away
she was
gorgeousness
pearched
in my
heavens orbit
i
drank rum
she
drank water
while
smoking a cig
lets go back
to yours
she said
interrupting me
on my way
to finishing
my faith
in and out
she weaved
speeding ahead
of me
through expensive
late night shopping
traffic crashes
crazy bitch
i yelled
at bob
the wailing
car radio
she
don't know
wheres i live
holy whores
and
gifts from hell
i muttered
as i
looked through
my dirty
windscreen
at the
mad angel
sitting
posing
dangerously
erotic
on her boot
in her
thigh high boots
dominating
another cig
in my drive
i smiled
between the squeaking
wipers
not wanting to scare
my
friday night
angelic lay
away
after the
debauchery
with a 40 oz
glasss club
now
in my hand
i confessed
i thought
i'd lost her
she
laughed
you brought me back
last week
you drunk dope
she squealed
as she
punctureated
her displeasure
at my
black out
by
stabbing me
with her
burning cig
shit
i thought
as i
gulped
some slave rum
from my
glass club
to try
and
flush out a memory
and
with some relief
she wasn't
as dangerous
a physco
as i thought
