Gilbert Screech,dont throw yourself of Blackpool tower
Tea beckons
you absurd fool
dont be like the rest
i have only just ironed your vest
you would be foolish to jump
the wind will not iron the creases out of it
dont commit suicide
just because we cant afford an ironing board
you never show me your true feelings in the council flat
even when speaking with tubby fat
billiard king from next block up
who sold all his billiard cues
for cans of special brew
never once asked
how are you
what has been
seems extreme
so dont throw yourself
of Blackpool tower
just because
of
an
unironed
VEST!
