LOUCHE LIZARD LIT 

Critics will probably dish & denigrate—
The whole idea of Sci-Fi Poetics but
Then there’s Karl Shaw’s prose-poem
ROYAL BABYLON: THE ALARMING 
HISTORY OF EUROPEAN ROYALTY

This is a shocking investigative poem—
About the criminal record of British Monarchy
Heathcote Williams has devised a form of 
Polemical poetry that is unique, relevant,
No-holds-barred, personal and political

This is a great collection of poems—
That most people are unaware of, can we 
Go on bowing and curtsying to people who are 
Just like ourselves? We begin to wish that the 
Aristocratic Zoo would be their destination

That the Reptoid Family should be given—
The run of some other Planetary Pasturage— 
A Whipsnade Zoo for the whole British Empire 
With Buckingham Palace as one Big Exodus
Our Planet repossessed thru a Sci-Fi Poem
