Chirpy Dirges

 

Eloise Emerald's Adventures In The Grass,  Final
 
No trichobezoar of the light, Lucozade's aura
enoranged th'entropic chessweb - beanjuice vista
thru a starcracked windscreen. Tartan-tailored 
                                                  gaoler's
 
8balls 8ghast at feline-fie-fo-fum face
of interloping goliath Garfield. Soft coffles of flies 
                                        likewise
strained towards colourbleeding leonine countenance
 
thru roses his highbeam sunwire vibrissae bridged.
He that giveth & also gravediggeth dipteran digs
had 'tween minervas inserted non-businessend phiz.

Like gingerbread logroller upon Basil Brush's bugle,
Lucozade's inverted i-schnozzle-es triangle
of rose pompadour nose leather was by 'Kind Of Blue'-bottle

surfed centrestage: Mojo the cavalry, not just a cameo!
Regally waving to E. Dragonflea, E.Louise & Ludo,
like a ballerina on a cherrypicker balanced Mojo

atop the moggy's bunnypink rhinarium. Flying King
was rooted to spot 8x over, as if the chessweb began binding
th'abdomen t'which it owed its dominion, but the petrifying

stimulus was Weeze's pet's Olmec head giving the spider
the emerald evils like Medusa's deadlights, the captor
turned caitiff! Gathering buzz, huskid muscid murmurs  

of a neon tawny dawn to vanquish this vampire's stalag,
now that the living webbed saw Odd Orange God Dog's
other side, literally. Scumberjack o' Poochipoopopolis logs

prolly didn't have spidercide in mind, but being usurped
as th'apex predator had Flying King so unnerved, 
that cobbywebbles, I mean 'collywobbles', under a minerv-

a's bloombrella purpwhorled harried him into a redoubt of
shadowy sepals. Serves Ol' 8ache right, Eloise approved,
tho' such gratification at garden karma was soon shelved

in favour of more selfish salvation, when Lucozade's
entomological hood ornament t'our foxhaired friend said,
'Totes ungroovio of me to bail as th'O.O.G.D. smothered
 
a Greasy Crawlies superfan like you in the pooey ruins
o' Poochipoopopolis. So by autopprobrium spurred on,
I looped back to learn Pied Purrer's mesmerhythms,
 
heeding your hint th'Odd Orange G-Dog's no mutt.
Beme on my boat tootled Catgut Amadeus Miaozart,
Claude Depussy, Benjamin Kitten & Puccini Boots,
 
bewitching the beast you call, erm... 'Lucasfilm'?
Anyhoo, he was dulcified docile as an  A.A.Milne
100 Acre weed like Wimpy-the-Pooh. S'I took the helm
 
of my new snake charmer-swayed, marmalade minder,
tailing you & Benzo ( who donned screwball sclerite vestures).
Whi' all the while, my tubular embouchure
 
grew a Growing Song, an oak of an anthem
from hookline acorn. Proudly now, as if in flylore loomed
my legend also like proverboscidean oak, I shall perform:
 
'Welcome to my size,' said the tiger to the spider.
'Welcome to my size,' said the trucker to the biker.
'Welcome to my size,' said Escape From New York to Rikers.
 
'Welcome to my size,' said the gyatt to the recliner
'Welcome to my size,' said China & America to each other.
'Welcome to my size,' said the sandbox to the linear.
 
'Welcome to my size,' said the sagan to the shedlo'.
'Welcome to my size,' said the Pacific to the pedalo.
'Welcome to my size,' said the 90s Freddo to the 2020s 
                                                            Freddo.'
 
Hosenose zzzaxophonist, Mojo tilted intently,
his proboscis on an instrumental break. Dragonflea
was heard to grumble, 'Mush-mush, Miracle-gro 
                                        melody!
 
I've a date with my bird, the Iron Ladybird, tomoz!
She won't reschedule...Lady's not for turning her spots!
Mojo, almost as if to order, blowed the coda buzz:
 
'Welcome to my size,' said the many-worldsverse to the dilemma.
'Welcome to my size, 'said Godzooky postpuberty 
                                                            to Godzilla.
O welcome to my size, tra la la la la la la!'

At Growing Song's finale (phew!), Eloise
with pneumatic headrush juddered, till E.Dragonflea's
curly legs creaked in propinquitous sympathy

& chessweb tremored like th'earth beneath sumoobs
of E.Honda. Growing pains at Mach 1 ripped
thru her emmerdales & her figglers, & from her hips

to the these & those in her fuscia crocs, which
saw Weeze bodypopeye on whatever juju GM spinach
was HGHing her. Velocitously, her vantage-

point bodyrocketed to same as her view Air Dodo.
The scopey Dragonflea & the kvetchy Ludo,
& doyen of Spotifly arthropodcasts, Mojo,

all now pinheadheaded & piddly as pishamires,
wallowing in a web she effortlessly unmired
herself from, spurting vertiginously ever

more 11-year-old-sized, until the vertijo
went to her head, or where it was 10 seconds ago.
Then Miss Eloise Agatha Emerald went a second sparko.
  
She came to, finally 11-year-old-sized, by her book.
She sprung up, sprinting like a foxhaired track
'n' field star down garden's farend to look

at the chessweb in her father's purple rosepatch.
What she found were silver tatters, average arach-
knit of argent twine maybe some melee unstitched.

Dust the spider, & only a single dessicated
dipteran husk in the wreckage of threads,
with trace discolouration green, blue, yellow, red,

about its 6 knees, or was that remnant of her reverie?
On her way back to the waybackdoor (BT
dubs, she cradled her dream-crashing, day-saving pussy
 
after stumbling over said red pet), a dawdling saudade over
that major trigger for newfound proboscisophobia, 
flycrocosm lately outgrown, bewildered her. & turning 12 a
buzz
minus 
promise,
a promise
minus buzz,
now Eloise
knew loss.
