Singing in the rain...

GETTING WET

They’ve not got designated drivers

on the local buses yet

It could take all night to get home

if he stops to place a bet

It’s raining in the bus shelter

an me hairdo’s getting wet

And everyone is staring

at me plastic suffragette

Her makeup’s running down her placard

‘Vote for wimmin don’t forget’

She’s got a hooded sweatshirt

an it’s soaking blooming wet

I used to drive a Range Rover

an play the clarinet

But now the Chelsea tractors

are splashing me the gets

It’s raining in the bus shelter

an me hairdo’s getting wet

Sometimes I wish I’d never met her

in the flaming launderette

She’s not really me girlfriend

she just helps me walk me pets

She’s got a hooded sweatshirt

an it’s soaking blooming wet

Lots of front...

THE CURRY MILE

This cuisine and that

from Moroccan to Bangla

and all in-between spelt

out in modern art signage

Mess Up My Back Alley Innit

Wheel writing on the wall

mucking up in three

hundred and seventy eight

shades of eye max reality

Outside shisha bar cold curry chips

 peas smoking hookah pipes run

down terraced town rock on bohemia

Babylon fruit hanging veg baskets

lots of front no sea

The mullah is as the hatter was

the rain reigns constantly
