'Sale Rail Carrion..'
Come the new year sale rail vultures,
hawking, squawking, swoop and scatter;
To last season’s teeming carcass,
hear them running pitter patter;
Greedy filch the choicest morsels,
beak and claw all peck and clatter.
Guts by Gucci, Boss and Fendi,
buried deep amongst the entrails;
Scattered ‘neath a chrome plate backbone,
belts ‘n buckles, bags ‘n coat tails;
Orphan limbs in Burb’rry tartans,
strewn abroad in grisly travails.
Gap and Prada lights and liver,
snatched from ‘neath a rag cadaver;
Bumping, boring, elbows jabbing,
tug o’warring all aslaver;
All upon a Dior sweetmeat,
screeching loud above the claver.
Jimmy Choos amongst the visc’ra’
peeping out like peacock feathers;
Bright as newly gouged out eyeballs,
‘neath the Valentino leathers;
Scent the discount rail Hyenas,
loosed their yummy mummy tethers.
Left to sniff amongst the leavings,
gnaw the bones a minor label;
Gone the Dolce and Gabannas,
discount mink and Basso sable;
Just the pickings and the seconds,
scraps from neath the big cats’ table...
