Pikey Bingo

from the ABC set Poems 1

Enter the den
Fill out my slip
Keep my fingers crossed
Vice like grip

My number is called
Queue for my prize
Nearly time to collect
Would prefer to hide

Army of tracksuits
Oceans of gold
No discrimination
Young and old

Stench of poverty
Look of despair
Screaming kids
Too much to bear

Fat women in front
Great big thighs
Skin tight ski pants
Who ate all the pies?

My turn now
Moment of glory
Hand over the ticket
Stamp it so surely

Thank god I can go
Head for the door
Past the Argos catalogues
Piled high for the poor
