wanted to knock on his door
and ask him to come out to play
but what if his dad answered
and what if he said, oh ok  ..

she said I wonder
what you look like
without your glasses

he said I wonder
what you look like
without my glasses    ..

they say a time machine wouldn’t
be possible
but that’s *******
I’ve got a clock

this is where I live
I’d ask you in
but it’s a mess

glad I never met george orwell
since he’d have despised me for
being a weak liberal and well
yeah he’d have been about right

I’m drunk
feel your

contempt
so not

quite drunk
enough     ..

when I was a kid I got a sixpence
a week for
pocket money, plus the beano
every
saturday
and then, suddenly, they
brought in decimalisation
and a sixpence no longer existed,
and I’ve worried about
money
ever since   ..
