Tried and tested,
was
tired
now rested,

no change.

She smiled at me
it must be your age
She said,

If age is just a number and
I slumber until ten
and you shake me to wake me
what then?

Eurovision
on
Television,
televised
live.

Will you be watching?

not me
I don't have a TV.

The day has been torn away
I worked hard and am now
worn out,

Captain Morgan says
have a *** boyo,
I think he might be Welsh.

Whatever,
the dragon is upon me
the fire is within
I'll have a single ***
otherwise
it'd be a bottle of gin.

King,
Queen,
who have you been in a previous life?

Me,
a **** shoveller
or a
groveller.

no good pretending when you know your station and I'm getting off at the next one.

Well, you know everyone's been a Pharaoh.
but
I was still me in whatever century

She says
what are you waffling on about?

but that's Nefertiti for you

We saw waves crash against the shore
an orchestra played
and in black and white films
we knew they were getting laid.

All very quaint

and then when the music stopped
and the sea became calm
arm in arm
they would walk along the beach

in the old days
they had such nice ways
of telling a story.

Warm?
really?
oh,
seal me in a box with a few pairs of clean socks,

fukin warm?
are you mad
it's been baking

someone taking the proverbial
and up in Seven Dials
Sherlock's
thinking of *****

fukin ******.

Oh not me
says he
with a halo around his waist

haha
less haste and more amphetamines
or as we say
more speed

I need a drink.
