The London of The Ripper and Beyond

The London of The Ripper and Beyond

The clock tower ringed by fog and mist
a sentinel of time shrouded in mystery
The cling clang of horse's hooves across the bridge
signaling a time other than our own
when our transport vehicles are silent
save for the incessant honking of the horn by the solipsistic narcissist within.


Carriage stops
door opens
out steps a man in black
black hat
black cloak
black cape


A woman's scream in the night
that seems to piece the very fog itself
Such a scream was the signal of distress in the Ripper's London.


And like those times of fog and mist
The Ripper legend continues to be shrouded in mystery.
Oh what foul deeds of darkness were then committed in the dark of night
Foul deeds that now are committed by others and broadcast on TV-morning, evening, day and night
In these times, darkness has become our normal light.

Jack O' Hare's Magic Carpet Ride

Jack O' Hare's Magic Carpet Ride


Now one might think folks are full of blarney
claiming to see leprechauns near Lake Killarney
but wild hare jack rabbit Jack O' Hare
as he travelled across the Emerald Isle green and fair
claimed to have seen just that
so he told a Guinness drinking cat.


So Jack and the cat headed out
stumbling across the land round about
till they ran into Seamus the leprechaun
enjoying a dinner of steak and prawn


So Seamus, what's up?
Jack asked sipping his cup.
Replied the wee leprechaun Seamus
who gazed with telescope at planet Uranus,
"I've got some magic mushrooms from Bavaria,
brought to me by a fräulein barmaid with a lovely pair of..."

"Coconuts!" shouted the cat looking at Seamus' South Seas food ware
-tropical delights arranged with such care.

"That she had!"
said Seamus very glad.


Explained the leprechaun further, "She got them from Gunter Glockenspiel the Magic Garden elf
who often reads from Sherrie's books on the shelf
while he warred with the Seven Evil Dwarves in the garden next door
while noble cat Tiger and noble dog Ambos slept in the house on the floor
he help himself to the evil dwarves' plunder of magic mushrooms galore.


He sent some to me courtesy of Fräulein Helga
whose pair of knockers is really quite swell-a."
So the three ate the mushrooms and had to agree
undergoing experiences of cosmic ecstasy
they learned to think psychedelically
and taught the clouds to sing in harmony.


It was really quite the magic carpet ride
stars and mermaids and surging tide
they had much to seek
and nothing to hide
For when they awoke, they found their clothes had gone astray
until they remembered, for 2 of them, it was always this way
while Seamus nude of derrière and red of face
ran and hid some place
They discovered he had hid in a stack of hay
and didn't come out for many a night and many a day.
