Stefan Splawinski Poems

1.

guilt trip of the decomposing
ashamed of home and heritage
pretending towards universals
bleeding hearts now onstage
...

what madness to travel by train
down through that ghastly hole
from kent underwater to france
excavated by a steel cap mole
...

this lonely pacific island
shark infested seas around
coral reef with noble palms
warm paradise is here found
...

old maiden castle on the hill
hardy of caistorbridge told
largest market in the south
blue vinney cheese here sold
...

5.

forget the kentucky derby
heres an event for those
who a keen contest admire
with an outcome so close
...

right next to blue pacific waters
fine retreat made for the wealthy
always surrounded by disadvantage
to keep them happy and so healthy
...

7.

oldest of british parliaments
renowned douglas house of keys
homeland to your tail free cat
rocky isle set in irish seas
...

8.

local grocer and wine merchant
family run large village store
provisions and greengroceries
post office and so much more
...

9.

furlonger your master butcher
the village high protein shop
rabbit veal and pork aplenty
sides of beef and lamb chop
...

10.

havant to hayling island
seaside excursion by train
on victorian puffing billy
visit funfare in the rain
...

summers day on glorious devon moor
sheep removed for a cricket match
sound of ball against willowed bat
students playing village of thatch
...

trick to inflate self-esteem
rap speak for primitive man
equal words for equal value
social discourse chasm began
...

13.

reunion of some frugal clan
far from the highland still
people who gather the groat
now close to bank and till
...

14.

captain of our ship of state
european partners adored him
sailing with election tides
helmsman who could never swim
...

sinners fear for godly rule
go pray ten times every week
wear black to mourn the lord
his salvation you must seek
...

your choice whether to die
develops into a social favour
you asked the right to work
now you are obliged to labour
...

17.

you and i are but the objects
of those who know whats best
the people who are so serious
those who do away with jest
...

18.

junction of three counties
in the early morning still
picking sweet whortleberries
looking down from oaken hill
...

life itself is a gamble
for the mass of mankind
daily struggle to exist
food and shelter to find
...

city of a shrinking world
hedonists and jogging nuns
cafe food for hare krishnas
street kids and courier runs
...
