WINNING
DELUXE – the ignore my rant man
And this is what FIRST introduced me to work of Johnny Deluxe
A rather pithy and pointed piquant pulchritude of passion poignancy and persuasive poetry
Great poem … great voice … love it!!
And a huge thanx to Meester Mainey, Kilmarnock’s finest, for the introduction
DELUXE AND THE ANGRY VILLAGERS – taking tea with my grandmother
I’m a sucker for a good story … and I’m a sucker for a poem that rhymes
Combine the two with wit, erudition, swirling images and slithering words,
and I’m hooked.
This ticks all those boxes … and more
Mr Johnny Deluxe … a rather fine bit of work!!!
Why is this not more widely known …. !!!!
VERA IN VUNDERLAND – STU WHO?
PART ONE
Vera the Volkswagen lived in Llandudno
God knows why anyone would
Battered and worn by years of neglect
In a lonely back-alley, she stood
Her paintwork was yellow, all covered in dust
Her badge in some Beastie Boy’s trunk
Her doors hanging loose, through casual abuse
From schoolboys, and hobos, and drunks
V
The number of miles that showed on her dials
Was quite astronomically high
Twice ’round the world; that’s not bad for a girl
Who refuses to speed ‘cos she’s shy
Down in the bumper, and dull in the windscreen
Flat in the tyre, front and back
Vera’d had many owners, both cheerful and moaners
But now, she’s with old Mr Jack
