"kisses on your beautiful face"


from the ABC set Sometimes, only paint will do.

"kisses on your beautiful face"
a salutation, am I wrong to feel
singing raindrops Bing
tap dancing synchronised
umbrellas swimming chimney
sweeps Cockney rhyming
show tunes and bugs
bunny munching nonchalantly?
An impish dustman wants a little bit
of bloomin but am I wrong
to feel the swagger of hips
the bend of my elbows
as I dance The Shadows
right foot forward cross over back
together right foot forward cross over
back together and I am wondering
where this top hat and tails came from
the ostentatious sunflower
lodged in my lapel, the uncanny
way I am dancing like Snoopy
with increasing disregard for punctuation
am I wrong to?
