72 Miles From The Sea

Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?

You’re the most dishevelled cat I’ve ever seen

How did you get covered in cobwebs and dust?

Come sit on my lap and you shall be fussed

Are you wearing red?

To signify the party you’re in

Well done, congratulations

You made a decision Mr Corbyn

The technology available is fantastic

But is it more trouble than it’s worth

And will our worst fears be realised

And shall the geek inherit the earth

I resisted getting a mobile phone for a long time

But I gave in and was told I’d never regret it

Now if I leave home without the thing, I panic

And I have to turn around to go back and get it

The technology available is fantastic

But it has affected me detrimentally

As I realized I’ve not played solitaire

With a real deck of cards this century

On the beach beneath the sun,

You hear the sounds of joy

And excited laughter of play

From every girl and boy

A Mexican friend of mine

Was really cross

After his car was stolen,

Poor poor Carlos
