With Music
The ice cream hut
Ate all the children,
Winston Churchill harrumphed
Turned tail and sang
Seidel’s Song to the Moon
The Battle of Stepney
Childhood dreams of an opera,
Peter the Painter harrumphed
Chased tail and sang
Till the fat lady
Francis Bacon harrumphed
(w/ a pot full of innards)
I mushroomed
in a bronzed field
of chipt yoghurt—
which exploded.
