1. The Switch Off
After work I smoke to switch off
I need that release so at Morrisons
say to my mate Watch This and jump into trolley bouncy with cardboard, nick from Pick ‘n’Mix, who misses a Jelly Tiger, me and mate do Madness walk down shopping aisles followed by security, till we get to sweets aisle and munch it all. Maybe buy some Johnnies and while she’s not looking pocket pack chewing gum.
Switched On, nah, that’s effort, what you want is no effort, Switched Off.
2. The Don’t Mind Me
Stood in our local hostelry
doing the business where
its quiet this lad comes in
says Don’t Mind Me, spreads
line of white stuff on white
porcelain and sniffs it up.
Don’t Mind Me he says
and leaves. I was finished off.
3. The Dream
Seen those foods on offer
as you go out supermarket
with your trolley, crisps, nuts,
what if you were to swipe one off
as complimentary. They’d not
miss it. Earn millions them.
That’d be A-Mazing!
I particularly like Don’t Mind Me because it’s a real phrase. In the kitchen at work, people talking with one another. Some stop and look. Don’t Mind Me says I and sprint in and out afraid they may think I’m listening to their secrets. In a queue waiting when a man tries to wriggle through, not to push in but more to get to the other side Don’t Mind Me. Lovely
Thank you, Sue. I wanted it to relate to real life. Thank you for confirming it does.
