John Thorkild Ellison Poems

How shocked I was
To see you in your new disguise
On a cold autumn day
With the rain in your eyes!
...

'Bollock naked' is a phrase
That's calculated to amaze
Those ignorant of Geordie ways.
...

I'm Marcus the ganja man,
I live in a caravan.
I sell all my weed
To help children in need,
...

Muddle-headed dreamers,
Mendacious, subtle semantic schemers,
Random rhymers,
What is your excuse?
...

Weak lemonade sky
Of the anaemic January sun,
Don't cry!
The thumbnail moon
...

While you are rotting underneath the earth,
Consumed by worms and maggots,
Utterly dead,
I lie alive and cosy in my bed.
...
