MY GIRLFRIEND SAYS SHE’S MIDDLE CLASS

 

My girlfriend says she’s middle class

And I laugh in her face

She’s clearly working class

Because at her dad’s place

They have a television

That’s bigger than their bookcase 

I WATCHED A RIVETING DOCUMENTARY

 

I watched a riveting documentary

On television last night

It was all about how ships were

Put together by shipwrights

PHIL LYNOTT WAS ROBBED BY A GYPSY

Phil Lynott was robbed by a Gypsy

And searched for him wide and far oh

He caught him and took him home

Now he keeps his Gypsy in a-jar-o

PYTHAGORAS WOULD HAVE BELEIVED

 

Pythagoras would have beleived

Every triangle was a love triangle

Not simply because of the mathematics

But because he loved triangles

WRITERS ANGST # 2

 

The thing that gives me anxiety

Are people reading my stories

But even worse than that are

People not reading my stories

I HAVE MANY QUESTIONS # 2

 I have many questions

That are not my bailiwick

Why is it so hard to recall

How to spell mnemonic?

HIM AND I

 

The TV and radio airways are now awash

With colloquial accents, no longer posh

Scouse and Geordie slang pervade the ears

And Brummie talk will bring a man to tears

Welsh and Scottish tones dispense the news

Guttural pronouncements from their shoes

The new name for this invasion of your home

Known as I.V.S. or irritable vowel syndrome
