No Job


My landlady is in the hall, cleaning stairs
I’m ten days late with the rent,
can’t go out before she goes into her own flat.
She’s near my door if she knocks I’ll pretend to be asleep,
if she persists I’ll tell I have a night job and will pay her as soon as I get paid.
She has gone into her flat, bet the door is ajar; creaking stairs is not helpful.
This place hasn’t got a fire escape,
I’ll report her, this is a fire trap.
Got no ***** or ****, only a cupboard full of empties, if I carry them out in a plastic bag she’ll hear clanking noises, come out, hands on hips.
Quiet; perhaps she has gone out, plays bingo every day,
spending my money gambling! The tight-****** woman, full of money, so
why should I give her my hard earned?
