Looking up "hogsbane" in an online dictionary to confirm the meaning of "bane," as one does, at least if one is making a podcast about fact and folklore of common weeds.

Dictionary helpfully provides rhymes for "hogsbane," including "blockchain" and "biplane."

Do with that what you will

Turf

Dark and soft and wet and black,
A firey stench of times long back.
Who figured out old moss and sod,
Could burn so bright, out of the bog?

It's had its day, nows better solutions,
Don't fill the air with strong polutants.
And so that sacred pungent smell,
Will warm no more, and that's just as well.

On a tiny insignificant rock,
Care for more than just what you've got.
Save the air fresh all around,
Leave that old stuff moist and underground.

Do speak ill of the dead
Who've inflicted evil on the world,
While they still walked upon the earth.
Curse them. Damn them to hell.
Sully their name.
Make their offspring and their allies
Ashamed of their awful deeds.

Do speak ill of the dead.
Those who have caused pain and suffering
to the unprotected and defenseless.
Curse them. Damn them to hell.
Ruin their legacy.
They had no shame harming others in life
And deserve no peace in death.

Do speak ill of the dead.

bounces across the brown lawn,

At the Resolute Desk,
Sits a petty
Shallow narcissist who
Has two buttons: one to summon
A Diet Coke.
The other starts World War III.

On street names as vanity plates for the wealthy

We cruised quietly down "Judith Street" via "Van Velden Drive".
The Uber driver was twitchy, demanding his pay.
Cos the next street was "Willis" which sent chills running through us
as we swung right into "Don Brash Way".

We veered right once more, found a street called "Seymour",
chucked a right into "Luxon Lane".
Back alley, dead end, black gates, heavy men,
it’s "Thiel Close"… but what’s in a name?

“McGonagall is in a very special category, and has it all to himself. There are no other writings known to me that resemble his. So far as the whole tribe of poets is concerned, from the veritable lords of language to the worst doggerel-mongers, he stands alone.”

My llama love, loves a goat
He barely sees me
He never sees me
Because I'm on the internet.
My llama love, loves a goat
That llama love stealing goat
Got the best of me.
Goddamn.
