Corpusclent
Tripping down to unchain the convict chooks*
the fence is flash-mobbed by a surge
of mop-topped, mugger sheep
complaining their throats have been cut, they're THAT
bllllaaaaah-dy haaaaahnnn-gry (bloody hungry)
You lot are not corpulent - you're corpusclent, full as ticks.
I wouldn't cuddle up too lustfully against the fence,
Black Knees, you over-fed ewe - you...
rolling your wicked, goatish eyes,
expecting juicy handouts.
No sense of self-restraint. No dignity either.
Well,
one small prick from barbed tine and you will
PoP!
Puss and blood geysering out.
I'd be blood-barfed, you great ball of guts,
stop head-butting the gate, yer thug
no brain, no pain, patently - four-stomached metaphor
for Greed,
I'm not letting you in.
The orchard's lamb-deep in clover, could lose a dozy calf in it.
You'd founder* yer whale-sized twit*
if I let you have your way with it,
eat it out in an arvo,* I'll bet,
strut away conceitedly bloated,
head smugly up,
nostrils, shotgun-flared,
denying a single luscious clover leaf had passed your guilty, green-stained lips.
*chooks are chickens in Oz-Speak. They're not really chained up, but their door is.
*founder - usually used for horses (appropriate) - to become ill from over-eating.
*twit - pregnant goldfish (appropriate) and slang for someone stupid.
*arvo short for afternoon.
