The 5 Word Story

for people who can’t count

less than six and end

up filling the whole page

with a load of bull doodah

which is what nun’s want

for their flowers and their

trip to San Francisco with

the long haired hippy types

with flowers in their hair

singing purple haze with Jimmy

Saville from beyond the murky

waters of the Leeds canal

all along the watch tower

and all the way to

Mexico gettin’ to the peso

to find the door locked

because a senorita is having

a siesta in a hammock

playing a harmonica with a

bunged-up hole full of spit
