Some youths are breaking into cars,
They are reprehensible
little devils,
And they do it in multi-story
car parks
Which is wrong on so
many levels

The young beautiful people
Think they
are acts of nature,
But the
beautiful old people
Know they’re
works of art for sure
They lack Common sense
Their failing is
immense
But in their defence
It’s the addled
essence
Of their adolescence
In the morning
My dad used to
Throwback the curtains
And loudly say
“Wakey, wakey
Rise and shine”
Well as a teenager
“Rise” I could manage
But “shine”
Was never going to
happen
When I was a babe
Milk was my tipple
Either from a bottle
Or from mummy’s nipple
When I was a boy
Soda was the tops
Delicious bubbly
Sugary Fizzy pops
When I was a man
Beer hit the spot
A foaming brew
In a glass pint pot
Now I’m an old man
Drinking has no charm
As all my fluids
Now go thru my arm
When I was a baby
I drank milk
From bottle or breast
As boy I drank
Fizzy pop
Limeade was the best
When I reached manhood
I discovered beer
I loved a pint of best
Now I’m nearing the
end
Of my lifelong trip
And all my fluids come
Thru an intravenous
drip
When I was still but a boy
I went to visit a
house of joy
And although I had to
pay
I would honestly have
to say
That for a coming of
age event
It was the best quid I
ever spent
The stress of being a teenager
Do you remember?
Especially the instant
arousals
Of the little member
The slightest thought
Of a sexual nature
Instantly breathed
life
Into your little creature
Your heart starts
pumping
And the blood surges
To feed the beast
On sexual urges
All of which
Was fine and dandy
Providing of course
you had
Your girlfriend handy
Or some privacy
Then there was no
issue
Providing of course
you had
A supply of tissue
Not so helpful
If you’re out walking
Or with your granny
Sat small talking
In any place
That you couldn’t
touch
That I’m afraid
I didn’t like much
Like on the bus
Or on the train
When a girl gets on
And oh no not again
Whether Right or wrong
Or for good or bad
They all do it, Girl and boy
Or laddette and lad
Lads swear like
troupers
Loud and loutish
Girls swear like
fishwives
Drinking to excess
So lacking in respect
For themselves and for
others
Morals like alley cats
That would shame their
mothers
Going out
Saturday nights
Looking for birds
Looking for fights
Getting ratted
Getting pissed
Getting groped
Getting kissed
Getting angry
Getting miffed
Getting slapped
Getting biffed
Getting punched
Getting kicked
Getting gobby
Getting nicked
Getting queasy
Getting sick
Sleeping it off
Down the nick
This is what
Young lads do
It’s always been
It’s nothing new
Going out
On the weekend
Looking for fun
Going with friends
Getting ratted
Getting pissed
Getting groped
Getting kissed
Getting angry
Getting miffed
Getting slapped
Getting biffed
Getting punched
Getting kicked
Getting gobby
Getting nicked
Getting queasy
Getting sick
Sleeping it off
Down the nick
This is what
The laddettes do
I guess that that
Is equality for you
If success you will achieve
Do not ever flatter to deceive
Apply yourself with valiant effort
To gain the important good report
The wayside is littered with the failed
Whose non commitment has prevailed
Don’t aim to highly but do your best
Then let your confidence do the rest
Some youths are breaking into cars,
They are
reprehensible little devils,
And they do it in
multi-story car parks
Which is wrong on
so many levels
Now I’ve left middle age behind me in the distance I occasionally hark back to my youth when I really was as young as I felt, to the days before my six pack became victim to too many six packs, I suppose my current physique I have to confess is not so much a six pack but rather more a party seven.
(If
you don’t know what a party seven is then this ramble probably doesn’t apply to
you).
The
thought of my girlfriends of the day with their firm buttocks, flat stomachs
and gravity defying breasts stir my loins with more than a sense of nostalgia,
and part of me wants to return to those carefree days of youth but I have grave
reservations about being a teenager again or worse being myself amongst
teenagers.
Having
shared a train carriage with four teenage girls only a day ago and having
endured the incessant and inane jabbering for two long soul-destroying hours,
when they had exhausted their limited vocabulary within the first 10 minutes,
the thought of repetitious teenage pillow talk fills me with dread.
How
is it that with all the many means of communication at their disposal they
still have nothing meaningful to say?
There
is a lot to be said for being with a woman who is wrinkle free and supple and
of limited sexual experience, carnal knowledge was so much fun to learn, and
all this reminiscing leaves me with a certain longing.
But
the price to too high to pay, it is so much better being with someone with life
experience, someone you can have a proper conversation with in between the love
making or indeed instead of it.
It
doesn’t have to be deep and meaningful converse just a bit more than he
said/she said init.
It
can be as simple as a common history or shared knowledge someone who knows the
name of the dragon in Ivor the Engine, or someone who watched Brief Encounter
and didn’t think it was funny.
Someone
who remembers being able to play music at the wrong speed and who remembers
having to wait for the black and white TV set to warm up.
Just
someone who understands what you are saying and doesn’t stare vacantly at you
when you mention an event that happened pre 1990.
When you’re young you think that
You
have all the answers to mention
However,
the truth of the matter is that
You
don’t even know every question
They lack Common sense
Their failing is immense
But in their defence
It’s the addled essence
Of their adolescence
My son’s psychologist
Told me today that he has
issues
“Oh I know that” I said
“That’s why I give him the tissues”
Vesuvius is what
We
called my sister Grace
It
was because of all the
Eruptions
on her face
The young think to feel -
Sophistication
That
all they need is -
Intoxication
But
this only leads to -
Mispronunciation
