' ' ' ' ' ' Tales Told By Tankas Poem by Dónall Dempsey

COUNTRY HICK SET ADRIFT IN CONTINENTAL DISCO

Girl kisses boy &
Boy kisses girl. Girl kisses
Girl. Boy kisses boy.

Anything(it would seem) goes
& yet I stand here...kissless.

********

WATCH IT BUSTER!

Big Dutch butch...disco.
Eyeing up men eyeing up
“Her woman...okay! ”

Goes up...knees ‘em...in the balls
If she thinks they’re coming on.

*******

COUNTRY HICK LOST AS EVER AMONGST THIS COSMOPOLITIAN DISCO

Couple dancing slow
in the centre of the floor.
Not dancing...no more.

Actually...making...eh...love!
Glitter ball smiles on us all.


*******

AND HERE COMES THE GIRL’S GORILLA BOYFRIENDS...UH OH!

Two beautiful girls
dance sexily together.

Get cut in on by
two stupid boys too stupid
to know...they are not...wanted!
