I’m a boiled sweet sucked dry.
A lock of Rimbaud’s hair.
A stone sadly unskimmed.
A Bunuel eyeball sliced open.
A doorbell with a TB cough.
A ‘wellie’ footprint in a cloud.
A bum note on Dizzy’s trumpet.
A child lost at the Fair.
A Weimer Cabaret drag artist.
A key that turns only in ice-cream.
A Cubist jigsaw for pensioners.
A belly- dancer in a diving suit.
An A- Z of flirtatious moves.
An Alfred Jarry bicycle puncture kit.
A sock darned with blue sky.
A bedsit that doesn’t charge a penny.
A poet with a winged space rocket.
A friend of Brian and Roger.
A Paganinni Tribute Band.
A model railway ride to Bootle
A sandcastle in the Dole office.
A brass ear trumpet in the Cavern.
A lipstick stain on the Queen’s tiara.
A breakfast cereal that can Morris Dance.
A poem as loud as an Atom bomb.
A lump of Breton’s snot at the V&A
A lyric to accompany Gran’s snoring.
A Surrealist who can swim the Mersey.
A vandal in a candyfloss Heaven.
A Liverpool poet called Adrian Henri.
