Shelly in my Bed

 Shelly in my Bed

I was  asleep, I'd beaten Tinnitus, and he deserved a flogging

I awoke at 4.24am, suddenly

and a line, a snatch of words was in my head

"Kiss the Wind" I added "and love the son" 

So I grabbed the phone and Googled

"Kiss the Wind and love the son"

I thought I might try and create a poem in the morning

Then Google came up with

 

Love’s Philosophy

By Percy Bysshe Shelley

The fountains mingle with the river

   And the rivers with the ocean,

The winds of heaven mix for ever

   With a sweet emotion;

Nothing in the world is single;

   All things by a law divine

In one spirit meet and mingle.

   Why not I with thine?—

See the mountains kiss high heaven

   And the waves clasp one another;

No sister-flower would be forgiven

   If it disdained its brother;

And the sunlight clasps the earth

   And the moonbeams kiss the sea:

What is all this sweet work worth

   If thou kiss not me?

 obviously I am more like Frankenstein

which was written by Mrs Mary Shelly

and no I don't dream poetry

I escape Ringo on the cymbals each time I sleep

So where did it come from?

45 years ago at Grammar school maybe, was the last time

Shelly was in my head, never my bed

But Percy the Undertaker is a poet in my comic novel

The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker

So another door into my head

as for my bed, you wouldn't want to go there
