To the average working stiff
the mouth feel of Saturday
always popped and fizzed
a day to get on with the business
of being
without being defined by your business
(shout out to all in retail and shift work
your heartache is saved for other verse)
This Saturday has come
with revised terms and conditions
that seem to have rather stunted
the former purpose
like a PC revision
gutting all the cheeky dirt
for contemporary sensibilities
Fine, but understand
that from behind closed doors
a million folk are figuring
how to **** about in a myriad
of new ways
Ye can take our pubs,
but ye cannae take
our shenanigans!
