outside the bank of england
you think everyone who works in
the city is a banker, or a hedge fund
investor, whatever that is, but it’s
all rubbish, says the road sweeper

poet, footballer, whatever ..
being an amateur at something
is more enjoyable than when it’s undertaken
for money, although important,
takes away a little from the pleasure ..

who cares, stupid ..
prefer a german sausage to a british
I love a bratwurst but I don’t know the
nationality of my egg
although my bacon is almost certainly
danish, all served by a waitress called meg
(and she’s welsh)
and
as for the toast ..

wear your coat, she said
clothes were perhaps our greatest
evolutionary advance. I mean, controlling fire was good, and
the wheel and
the axle were genius,
but imagine lighting a fire or rolling down hill
stark bloody naked ..

I hate lasagne
the old chap in the pub said nothing
when, after ordering fish and chips he got served with
a plate of lasagne,
which he ate

racists’ self hatred
why do you hate those
who don’t
look like you
look bloody awful first thing
in the morning
and not
that great after lunch
and don’t even look in the mirror
after dinner
I’ve a hunch you
can’t help but feel
sick
who don’t
look like you
look bloody awful first thing
in the morning
and not
that great after lunch
and don’t even look in the mirror
after dinner
I’ve a hunch you
can’t help but feel
sick

how about I just sit here nice and quiet
old bloke in the bar says
I can’t go home in this weather, not with
my chest and this cough
but the publican replies
sorry mate, we’re closing
up and you can’t stay here all night
aye, says the old bloke, it’s
a conundrum, right enough ..

authoritarianism, ad infinitum
nothing to do with us,
although we’ve got
our own
right wing problem
is that so many people seem to
like ‘em
