Morning Tea Pentecost 

Matthew P. Anstey

A jumble of mumblings heard

In clumps of lumpy words

Bumps of bits of scraps of sounds

Mis- ill- mal-formed musings

Dog-eared diction indelibly drawled

Snippets of buzzing strophes

A blizzard of post-Eucharistic bees

Intincted with garbled grammar

A slurred soup of speecherly slurps

Boisterous babbling greets bolshie banter

Aha!

The unguent undoing of Babel we behold.
