Bumzoolo's
the monster
I made up last week.
A monster so scary
I'm now losing sleep..!
It has quibbles
for flesh
It has sago for skin
Its voice is a sermon
On Original Sin
It has spokesmen
for spikes
And cutbacks for claws
Its ribs are all wonky
Like half-opened drawers
It has barbed-wired
feet
And OFSTED-ing arms
When springing it sounds
Like an intruder alarm
It has landmines
for lungs
And a heartful of haste
Its clothes are all pressed
Make me feel outta place
It has tax-forms
for teeth
And hang-nails for eyes
Its head is the shape
of an old kipper tie
It has breath
like a dog
A smile like a wake
And a face that's as sad
as a burnt bit of cake
Bumzoolo's a
monster
Brought out of my mind
When you look there for monsters
Beware of your finds!
