Picnic Baskets
I would never have believed it
It wasn’t just one of them
It was both of them
Guilty as charged
No excuses
No apologies
Just bold as brass
To think;
They were both heroes
Of mine when I was a kid
I didn’t realise at the time
But then why would I
It was different then
Not like now
I mean, there’s nothing wrong with it
I mean, not these days, right?
They can even get married now
Or become Vickers, or priests
I didn’t know that it affected
Inanimate objects
My son told me that
Carrying a picnic basket was gay
He said picnic baskets were gay
And refused to go to the park
He said parks were gay to
But I kinda knew that
Imagine though, gay picnic baskets
Picnic baskets carriers all gay
Sad to think
Yogi and Booboo too

Re. Picnic Baskets
Have just interrogated my old picnic basket
and so i went straight out and asked it
were Roy and Trigger gay but masked it
before it could answer i got lambasted
by a Lycra wearing Phantom typecasted
he grabbed my basket as he ran passed it
It's getting complicated to keep on the straight and narrow these days
