Tug Dumbly - 4 shorts


How Did You Know?

They say you can tell a lot about a man
from his shoes.
I say you can tell more from the
dripping butcher’s knife in his hand.


Cruelty Free

‘You might pay a bit more
but you just feel better.
That’s why I prefer my refugees
freerange, not cage’.


Reduced

All life is compactable. 
Put Plato on a badge
Aristotle on a sticker
Shrink the Bible to a Limerick
Koran to a Haiku
contents of the Louvre
to the back of a cereal box.
Summarise human history
in the DNA lick
of a postage stamp.


When Narcissists Collide

Egos kiss like dodgem cars
recoiling liquorice lips
or soft attack like bean bags
floating sacks of frog slime
each jelly-bejewelled egg
the pepper speck sized eye
of its universe
