72 Miles From The Sea

I still fervently believe in same sex marriage

Because there has been a disparity for gay people

Which in the 21st century is totally unacceptable

They deserve to be as miserable as straight people

I don’t know exactly what OBE stands for

It’s one of those honours list pleasantries

But it would seem that if you’ve got one

You were a child molester in the Seventies

I don’t think any of us can judge immaturity,

It’s from parenthood some prejudices stem

So, no one should be prevented from having kids,

But most shouldn’t be allowed to name them

My Uncle is a great cat lover

And he’s always been a smashing bloke

But after he came to visit, my cat

Is recovering from a massive stroke

Lucy Llama was happily surprised

With a weekend break by her stag

So she rewarded him with a kiss

And in a fluster said Alpaca bag

Popular culture is very influential

And I think it’s brilliant, in my view

How the Chinese made a language

Entirely out of pretentious tattoos

Poetry is remarkable for

The amount of joy it brings

But please poets, we do get it,

Things are like other things
