Assarts are getting better

59

If you liked my photo
sorry if I'm wrong
now I write my first letter
the quiet young purposeful girl.
Once upon a time hello!
I have considered your structure.
It is awfully clean.
I like to read books &
go in for sports basically gymnastics.
It is awfully clean.
I come short and enormous not correctly.
Our glances our glances.
A man is that simple.
Dear. I look at a sundown. Good day.

I loved to you mike oldfield
one side of tubular bells
I moved away
to avoid the - unintelligible lyrical utterances –
of the other.
There goes my solo career.
I am nearly finished with
the sounds of the 70s.
The girton college reading group
fell apart it was the difficult
second album the whole thing it was
difficult to begin to you
again my lady it was the 1970s.
Do you have she's got everything by the kinks?

Assarts are getting worse

Thus the knights are not in
during the day they run off commerce
well met in HMV
you circa 1973
me humming tubular bells
you are not as good as doug jones
or my GCE in swan control
during the night
the british resistance organisation
take over the country
officer this is not a guide to covent garden
thus the knights take over covent garden
there's one he plays the grand piano
on side one side two is rubbish

king stephen or stephen king
in the assarts it doesn't
matter which no
he was the worst bond my lord
& the merchants laughed
ending in a banquet his
archiepiscopal hands
& the merchants laughed
at my new english library
I should a looked at the dates & at
the smoothy girls
I should a ran across a lady
I dorothy davis please rush to me
fighting men of the west

but I want a pool
I will invite king stephen he's the one
in the castle now
he's in the pool.
During the day king stephen dominates the pool.
He allows his archers in
they spoil the high middle ages
with their flu-flu arrows
& water bombs.
I could a been a archer
in the deep end I forgot to shout
the pools unfinished the labourers left
with the watershed king stephen with
his royal fucking hands.

Addendum to last post - John O Thompson

Because of the primitive nature of my blog, John O Thompson was erased from the last post. Here he is on his own.

English ladies crying alas
nothing is so lovely in the countryside
as emily running through the moat.
It's not her castle
that failed some castles are just fat!
No way she is roaring ha ha ha to
major changes like the invention of
the new forest & the romance of the rose.
Alas I am inclosed
in a large nucleated midlands village
writing the tragedy of the commons
it's for sale to others
others also crying
you can put your wall there or your pool.
