Angelo Barbello came down eating faggots. Ginger hopped inside Jay’s kimono looking menacingly naughty. Over Pompey questions rained so thickly umbrellas visibly wobbled. X-rated yobos zoomed.

And Boris’ COVID19 disaster excites, frantic gobshites, hangry in jazzed khaki’s laughing, murdering nurses, OAP’s – public questioning rancid, scowling Tories urging voracious warships, xenophobic, yuppie zingers.

Addled bladdered chavvy dinlos engage Fratton gentlefolk holding impressively juicy kebabs, lasciviously mewling nothings or proposing quickies round station toilets underneath vandalised windows; x-rated youthful zoogeny.
Richard Williams
A bat crawled delicately eating fruit, growing happier in joyous knowing, limbic mandibles nibbling orgasmically, ponderous quaffing, ravenous satiation, tremulous unction vast, welcome x yummy zone.
Margaret Jennings

Marie Monro
Animated, brightly coloured dancers — emerging fuchsia, giant helianthus, impatiens, jazzy kniphofia – living mural, nature’s original psychedelia. Quiet, restful seasons timidly unfurl viola, whispering xerophyllum, yellow zephyr.
