72 Miles From The Sea

Citizens of Western democracy’s

Will cross the world to fight for it

But are so disinterested that they

Won't cross the street to vote for it

At what point do

Mistaken repetitions

Made over time

Become traditions

Jack and Jill

Went to the clinic

Because they were

Both quite unhygienic

Are you wearing angel’s wings?

As someone’s special surprise

I hope you’re not too angelic

And you’re a Devil in disguise

I had two Exams today, English Oral

Followed by the French equivalent one

They were both hard, the only difference

Being the additional application of tongue

“Can I have a glass of Rice Wine”

I said “Beer makes me bilious”

The puzzled barman replied “Sake?”

I added “No I was being serious”

I survived testicular cancer, but when

I was in Asda I screamed out in terror

As all I could hear at the checkout was

“Unexpected item in the bagging area”
