A Nupe Ohm : Juno and Co.




PS If one's on Crete, with the use of a hire-car, etc., maybe resist going to see Zeus' Cave, as - unless it's en route - one's time is better employed travelling elsewhere, whether it's Heraklion, Spinalonga, or even The Amari Valley.

Mouth-music


[For the Winter Solstice]


I stand, and
(Having teased
Other lips) quiver
Now, 'twixt these
And your tongue -
Till I explode
Ambrosian gouts,
Thick and warm,
To savour
Sweetly down

‘Pygmalion : The real creature’

(Genesis 1 : 27)


Pygmalion
Took a lovely
Woman (unnamed
By Ovid)
And made,
Of her,
An ivory
Statue :


No, not a woman
Without a name –
As sculptor’s
Naked muse –
But real,
Warm flesh
To ivory
Statue.

An Englishman in Cambridge


When there are looks,
Or stares,
Of dread disapproval,


One wonders when,
Or where,
These people grew up -


Or failed
To grow up -
That it seems,


To them,
That blokes can't have
Long hair

Lunch on the moon?

27 April





Lunch where?!






Moon and Sun, as for Francis,

They're in the same breath





For me, for a place to eat,

One is cool - literally -

And has coastal views

Peaked by a crisp crest,

Like a salad's crunch:

If you can catch it





Waiter! Could I have another?
Mine's floated off...






Rating: 4*, but no atmosphere





As to The Other Place

(Maybe Stratford-on-Avon's,

Or 'the one not mentioned' -

As with The Scottish Play),

Steaks 'from the grill'

Come burnt to cinders





Waiter! Could I have - instead -
The chicken Caeasar salad?






Rating: 2*, and stuffy in summer

Economists in the Hen-House



John Stuart Mill
Was really quite a pill


Pilate said:
What is Truth?


Better that one man---?
