The yellow ripper

You are not 

The only one 

That writes 

Inspires 

Delights 

Reflects upon the whim of fate

You are not a Pancake Tuesday 

Bathed in lemon 

Juice and honey 

You are not a fatal car crash 

You are not a wad 

Of the obvious word that rhymes 

Eat it 

Like an ocelot 

Eat it baby cos a lot 

Of Mexicans 

Were thrown out of aeroplanes 

To pay for your coke 

Remember the Alamo 

Except it's not a Fukn joke 

You are not a raucous wedding 

Of inevitable hedonism 

And sublime indifference 

To your wafts 

Of chocolate truffle 

In the pocket of a duffle 

Coat 

You begot in a blaze of gory exoteric 

Fluff and sparkle 

Made by silkworms 

Mostly female 

Spinning concrete yarns and poems 

Don't you want me 

Like the cat 

For my warmth 

My chocolate biscuits 

My propensity to tickle him 

On his tummy 

And the arch of his back 

Behind his lughole

While he slavers 

You are not 

A topless mitten

You are not a wanton stripper

You are not 

A fashion victim 

You are not  

The yellow ripper

You are not 

A poison viper 

Rain is forecast 

Eat your dinner  

I can't do this 

You are too much 

Much too late 

I am worn 

And I am foolish 

O I want you 

On a plate.
