By-Election
promises
pass me by

I
never believe them men
who'll write those
instead of them.

They will pull the strings
that make you dance.

Anyway
it's Tuesday
not that it makes a difference
after all
it's not Christmas day
is it?

So
Kellogg's cornflakes
or a boiled egg?
kedgeree is off the menu,
the butler has the day free
and now
it's down to me
to decide.

Yep
been in there and out there
been almost where I should have gone
ah
some things are not meant to be
like me for instance.

Worked to death
and taxed to death
these shysters
don't give you the time
to draw a breath

oh
but they'll sit on their leather seats
giving a show
and I think we all know
that it'll never make the ratings.

*** them parliamentarians.

Bank Holiday Funday
but not when you work in
hospitality
or even in hospitals

as I said to Rik
on many occasions
it's all a load of
**** management
with no
imagination.

or something like that.

A Cooper
not a Tommy
but a barrel maker

strange?
oh yea
very
we're led a merry dance
rely mainly on chance
and end up down an aisle
for me it's
aisle three usually
canned goods and soda pop.
Bank Holiday here in the U.K
I am off to work
keeping the dream alive.

Tough
and this was the day
that was my day,
but 'I did it my way'
( no thanks to Frank )

She says,
you are brave,
a sentiment
I shall save
in my pocket
for when I need it.

Now chillin'
and not before time
tomorrow
is another
something,
but I've forgotten what.

Work tomorrow
work on Monday
work on whatever day
they say

they say a lot,
*******.

don't worry
I've always felt this way
about those who say
and do not feel

*** 'em.
I'm still here
in the year
2025
and
more than a little
alive
