THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

  

Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, writes:

"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied within seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not?"

BUT OUR BIRD FEEDER IS A SQUIRREL FEEDER!
Those rats with tails raid the birdseed ruthlessly
They scurry away when i wave like a scarecrow
but return to devastate the offerings for our gentle avian visitors
For years ,we have been selectively kind to our backyard ferals-
possums,Houston toads(Yes-we have a Toad Home),
garter snakes,lizards,various gregarious wild creatures
who nibble at our compost,chew upon our flowers
and find something nutritious in our weedy flowerings.
This is why we welcome this menagerie-but those squirrels!
Mischievous,over-sexed(it IS Spring!),mutant rodents
They find acorns and bury them for winter,eating everything else.
They scare our peaceful birds away-which is why bird feeders fail..
Same with Ukraine.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
