top job

 

come on Hovis put your back

into it hands on the dial

set controls to Number Ten

 

open up yon pearly gates

down the banks it's hands & knees

bail em out no parachute

 

when you're crashing in to land

drop the undercarriage pull

harder work those flipping oars

 

woah you’re making progress good

boy the mission's almost through

one more circuit here’s the bump

 

must it always be this mixed

worth the aggravation though

show no mercy give em hell




loyalists' creed

 

onlookers pedestrian resign

go to gaol there’s no free parking here

stay in bed or bunk off choice is yours

mortgage the gongs

 

hang yourselves it's all the same old song

amnesty's for birds & things that crawl

creeps aside & loafers sporting beards

peddlers of whine

 

only those committed souls unsung

heroes undercover artists tall

story peddlers shall receive the word

folks out of time

 

never mind the lottery your crime

should you choose to work for us is clear

infiltrating every kind of talk

whiplash of tongue

 

no reward your wages shall be long

years in exile keeping foreign laws

pining for a sip of bitter beer

dying like swine

 



in saecula saeculorum

 

end of life

crisis wakes

pensioners

up

 

mad for sex

drugs & rock

follies get

off

 

Grandad it’s

one last sup

time so drink

on

 

now before

Covid or

heart attack

calls

 

if the old

body clock’s

slowing down

shame

 

those who’ve looked

after it

all these years

cheers

 

sign yourself

off with crass

acts of pure

sleaze
