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.
