Acid filled raindrops and ears grown on kittens
Bright copper rivers and fingerless mittens
Suspect brown packages tied up with string
These are my favourite dystopian things
Cream coloured pygmies and spliced apple strudels
Night hells and slain belles and badger-haired poodles
Sixteen legged geese with four breasts on each wing
These are my favourite dystopian things
Girls in torn dresses with zombified slashes
Snowflakes that burn through my nose and eyelashes
Silver white wreckages clogging up springs
These are my favourite dystopian things
Rabid dogs bite, mutant bees sting
Villagers look quite bad
Such is the way of dystopian things
The whole world’s gone fucckkinggg maaaddddd…
that is very very scary – You expect me to sleep after that?

I kept trying to replace that line but once the badger-poodle (boodle?) was in there I couldn’t shift him! Thanks for taking the time to read and comment and for the blog follow – much appreciated and I hope you’ll find more things you like on the site.

Nik … this is just dripping with truth! The Sound of Music is actually on TV here tonight. I don’t think I’ll be able to watch it after reading this! Loved it!

Fun is the key element – have been trying a bit too hard and putting myself under pressure recently so I’m trying to write what comes naturally again rather than forcing things.

This is very clever and disturbing. One of my favourite ever films, might have to go and watch the original version now just to restore the balance!

Thanks Rebecca. I hope you managed to restore the balance! This was just one of those weird internal-to-brain accidents – I haven’t seen the film for probably 20 years and I have no idea what suddenly sparked the music in my head. I will try to refrain from rewriting Jingle Bells over the next month ๐
