Bald Eggle
Personal Work, 2020
Right down that dark laneway
Just follow the black cats.
The shop’s tricky to find,
but they like it like that
Well versed in the exotic,
best friends since they were boys.
They’ve a wunderkammer full
of extravagant joys
Not normal shop keepers,
they sell magical wares.
There’s Gifford and then Lloyd,
a mysterious pair
Whatever you might need
they’ve all manner of things.
Dark Lotions, love potions,
Rare birds, precious rings
In their shop window I saw
something truly unique.
An alchemy of sorts,
it was an egg with a beak
Take one dash of eagle
And a sprinkle of egg,
My pet doppelgänger
will cost me an arm and a leg
He’s called a ‘Bald Eggle’
and I love how that sounds.
Balding and friendly with
a huge head that’s quite round
Gifford and Lloyd’s is the
Best emporium there is.
So go in and see them
When life loses its fizz
