236. Crimplene & Tweed
the sun’s over the yardarm
Una Paloma Blanca’s on the deck
and it’s time for our vodka & valium
and frazzled sausages
at the Sunshine Barbeque
for disadvantaged gentlefolk
subsisting on benefits & empty carbs
for 363 days a year.
Pink rinses & pearls
pipes in pockets
bypasses & bus passes
– another generation
daily getting ready
for the last supper
and a trip to the crematorium.
