Hire purchase?
to get any purchase on the ground that's constantly shifting would be a bonus,

it's coming
the return of the purse snatcher
the cut-throat razor,

the targeted taser?
well,
that's for relaxation,

this country's the runt of the litter
it should be thrown out with the
bathwater,

they'll find the excuse for this
form of abuse.

jeers and cheers and profiteers,
seen your gas bill?
you will just before you faint.

I'm off to Epping
going to do me some logging
and make some emissions.

can't afford to live?
don't worry this isn't living
can't afford to die?
I'm doing a special on log pyres.
