Walnut whip hair
teases candy floss brow~
tortoise shell rims
disguise pin-pong ball eyes.
Curly moustache
tickles ant-eater nose~
piano key teeth
chew a grey/yellow sock.
Cruise liner shoe
ferry pipe cleaner stalks~
bulging string neck
hangs 'neath quivering jaw.
Thick as two planks
a shakespearean clown~
psychotic old soak
the elastic band man.
