utter tosh!


from the ABC set poetry emulsion

What a bloody day
Want it to go away
It can't get any worse
Than its been

My internet wont work
That guy's a blinking jerk
It's been the worst case
That he's ever seen

I thought I had it sorted
I Thought i had it fixed
So went off to make myself
A cup of tea.

Went by the kitchen sink
An something made me think
It looked so full
I thought It was the sea

Oh no the sinks snarled up!
There goes my lovely cup
My brown and slurpy
Cup of lovely tea

So underneath I go
All tentative and slow
Looking in the gloom
With all my might

Cant see a bloody thing
I Need a piece of string
But a torch might be better
For some light

Then Looking all around
I hear a funny sound
A gurgling noise
Is coming from somewhere

The waters draining down
All over the ground
All around my trousers
Rolled up high

What the Hell is this
And then I have to hiss
I'm gonna have to call
That plumber guy.

And then I tidy up
I finally make my cup
Of slurpy brown and sweet
Delicious tea

Resting on my back
I hear a funny crack
I see a flash a spark
Of green blue light

The cooker lights gone out
I'm ready just to shout
All holy incantations
In the night

Oh I know what I'll do
I'll get some super glue
I'll glue it all together
Like You do

But then I think no no
Thats not the way to go
Thats how I'm in
This situation too.
