Doom on a miserable looking postcard…

But first…
Dulltown, UK: Today’s eight pigeons, all facing the same way, are the ones in a line, at the edge of next door’s sloping roof.

I do like getting postcards.
They used to come naked in the post, but now people prefer to send them in envelopes, which is a bit nicer and more private, I suppose.
The one that arrived today was in a white envelope with a second-class jolly Christmas stamp on it. The printed picture on the card is an artwork. It is Walter Sickert’s The Camden Town Murder. Hm, do click here, dear reader.
Yes, what an unpleasant image – I wonder who this card can be from?
I turned it over. It was from Simon Doom, pretentious and miserable poet from the glory days of the Hull Surrealist League.

He related, in small ugly writing, using a faulty a ballpoint pen, what he had been doing lately, and he also crammed in, and more carefully written, in red Biro, one of his spoems, (spoof poems), for me to include on my blog pages.
Hm…

In the text he mentioned that he had recently had a ‘brisk’ argument with Tony Mayonnaise, another poet from the glory days of the HSL, who also does spoems. The thing apparently ended in an early hours fist fight, and both had received bloody noses – and they both went off, together, to the hospital casualty department at about 3 am, to have their noses professionally looked at.
Idiots!
You see, dear reader, the row was about the quality of one of Doom’s spoems:

Flag-nilly, oms podcom!
The droggel meat rhapsody tubes…
Boil degg, with corpulent marks gaping.
Chisel-mount timpani bulge.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
….
Flog-nilly, spoonerist brakes!
The tune basket garment boys…
Silver noise and feel at the blatant tomb.
Chisel-talk moon shine.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
….
Flog-nilly, feathering highter!
The memmel soup is for clarions…
Creeping dimple cart, the echoing tones.
Chisel-gut wet seepage.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
….
Flog-nilly, spears and deep cuts!
The cart of horses legs at noon…
Blood nose, with more articulation paws.
Chisel-port dredgers and rafts.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, ha!
….
Simon Doom. 2024.
