Them boys and me
Cheese Cloth netted fishermen
Schemed by muddy-banked mill ponds
Reaped silver spricks below drizzle trees.

Them boys and me
China sea trawler captains
Long John-Silver-foiling cabin boys
Netted silver fish in dead-catted mill water seas.

Them boys and me
Glass-jagged wall climbers
Sodden-trouser seated trespassers
Growing our tonsils in Ireland for free.

– Kicked in the drizzle
Spat in the Fire
Conkers and bonkers – cowboys for hire
Marbles and herrings and limpets and rhymes
“Me Auntie Mary had a canary.”
“The black cat piddled” in time.
Whistles and fiddles,
Squeeze boxes and spoons
“A hole in the bucket” do ye know this wee tune?
Sodas and fadge, banners and drums
Minerals at thruppence’ and hard Paris buns
Cold sandy seasides – once on a time
– Cultivating and spinning –
– Tales
To warm your mind.

Will Millar
