Today

Today you might meet a small Scots lion Begging to be your pet: Or a herd of cattle munching packets of smarties Or a pianist playing Chopin in MacDonalds Or a red hot poker pointing to the moon Or a badger using satnav to locate Venus Or a frogman posting a letter to Mongolia Or a thrush's beak impaling a kebab Or a raw heart thumping like an Iriah drum Or a little girl with pigtails in a box Or a crab abseiling over Lochnagar Or a colander dancing on a mountain daisy Or the delicate bones of a wren picked clean by rot Or a heron holding a spotty parasol Or a man without a head who smiles broadly Or squirrels swimming in air towards a rainbow
