A little homage to Benjamin Zephaniah...
Ben da Man
Zeph. Odd. Beetlebox,
Wanna go, see da show, innit.
Up. Fire. Mind's eye,
Pinning a time to sign me lie,
Rabbit-rousin' double-taker,
Find, me wire me, hero-chaser.
Lucky wah-wah, play it loud,
Down, clown, man o' wonder,
Loud the sound, phantom ground.
Ragged. Bluff. Entire,
Skankin' skunkin' queen o' jeepers,
Look-I sunward, green-grey sky;
Blow me hair-horn, cloudy spires,
Babble-jar comes scion after,
Highly sorted, finely lost,
Plantin'-can, d'ya make a garden?
McCotton's legacy, a 'wee dram' tossed.
