I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO

 

I don’t know what to do

About all the sex, nudity,

Foul language and violence

On my DVD

A COUPLE OF WOMEN

 

A couple of women

Live next door to me

One is middle-aged

And teaches PE

The other a social worker

In her mid-twenties

They go everywhere together

If you, please

And I’ve never seen a man

Either enter or leave

I’m beginning to think

That they might be Lebanese

ON HER CHARIOT DRAWN BY GRIFFINS

 

On her chariot drawn by griffins

The maiden goddess, dispensing justice

With rod, scales, sword, and scourge

The avenger of crime, Nemesis

BEING FROM AN ARMY FAMILY I DREADED

 

Being from an army family I dreaded

Being invited to the officer’s mess

Because I’d have one too many margarita’s

And it always ends in distress

WHEN I SUGGESTED YOU NEEDED PROTECTION

 

When I suggested you needed protection

I wasn’t meaning you needed a condom

I was merely wondering if you happened

To have a suitable raincoat to put on

I WAS ALMOST DROWNED

 

I was almost drowned

Just a few miles from shore

And my life passed before my eyes

God it was a total bore

HE ASKED ME A QUESTION

 

He asked me a question

In the most cryptic of ways

Does your mouth bleed?

Every twenty-eight days?

And I didn’t recognise it

As an insult for several days
