The First Hanged

He's hunkered down somewhere.
He's found a warm place.
We're all smiling now.

Gone camping without medication?
Things seemed clear in the woods.
We're all smiling now.

The message? "BONG HITS 4 JESUS"
Authorities plan wilderness treatment.
We're all smiling now.

Bush Recall Jesus

Fourth anniversary, Americans seeking
bong hits, Supreme Court refunds, cuts and
gravy. Nationwide, customers question

fourth anniversary. Americans seeking
bad days ignored, good days restored.
Military never asked, but invasion escalation.

Fourth anniversary, Americans seeking
flags, congress, rights within pet conflict.
President Bush listen. Listen.

This Affecting Comedy

The largest night changes her objects
And one of the threatened questions about it
Is queuing up outside the lived world

"When I'm involved in the entertainment
of The Ghost Daughter the politicians
imitating good sheep are a natural regret."

On the other dubious hand charity promises
To turn with great relief and some aplomb
Into an island written in cold rock

--Martin Stannard

As the weather gets hotter so the sheep are getting smaller
More celebrities still provide real Comic Relief
Is the Prime Minister bovvered?

New Powers Dancing

Spare Tuesday

because this meant everything, nothing

you can't spare
animal, model, leg
because the best can overdo it

Overdo,
cosmetically, joy.
Once it breaks, I donate elation

Serious Conduct Question

The victim admitted drinking spirits, Reuters said,
but denied she had agreed to sex; the court
dismissed the sailor in all disgrace.

And Tsvangirai's fractured skull and tortured face,
and those of other activists are said
to have prompted condemnation, and chaos in court.

Viewers, we sense the question is so complicated;
can we, in no danger, afford to use our yesterday
and riddle humour into what the Telegraph said?

Mouth to Mouth

Obscene gestures, actual stars,
a gesture toward the grandstands.
There was a buzz in the air.

The potential clash of egos
after experiencing dizziness
surged through the crowd.

Maybe it was hip-hop,
maybe it was dehydration.
Whatever. Confusing moments.

Dark Rebel Sparks

        Circling for an hour
after earlier approach

        with faith and guidance
always communicating,
        constantly hoping,

        rebel leaders swirled
over Westminster, poised for
        expected revolt.

Another Longtime Election

Let's have elections in 2008!
He will stand another term
whichever way they desire.

Who will succeed him? The heir
is undecided, the question unanswered,
the voters moved and emotive.

Two men will deliver speeches
on party and policy and tax.
Let's take the agenda in hand.

The Two Messages

He puts his arm round me and says
We built a very strong relationship
Of red and blue lives basking together

And when we are presented with loss
Images of sunshine leave a mark
We are frustrated and have to live with it

But what a difference the drugs are making
Flashing images to the better other brain
In the Italian night off the coast of sleep

--Martin Stannard

Brain absorbs subliminal messages - if not too busy
Two years of lost sleep if your partner
