Sonnet of the day · 8 November 2026
The conjuror eats watches pens or keys
since Elgin seems to think the nose de trop
eat fire your mouth will taste like antifreeze
who knows if sharks will feast on bummalo
You get like dirty goods on busy quays
your mind turns more and more to gloom and woe
we chill like nudists put on ice to freeze
it frightens Berry and the Morvandiaux
Milord has lisped from Malibar to Swat
we'll smack the dibbing kiddie's little bot
he'd really like to root out the cuckquean
Such ancestry is merely poppycock
the bankers in Provence exchange baiock?
if Europe or its destiny is keen
