Custard pants is coming
Swaggering along the prom
With one hand in his pocket
He struts with such aplomb
April 13, 2012
So ultra modern
The latest ‘must have’
The chicest of chic
The ‘tarted up’ lav.
Solid gold fixtures
Bum warming seat
Touch finger flusher
So very discreet.
Don’t even flutter an eyelash
Let the double entendres pass by
Don’t let him get his leg over
Don’t act all demure and shy
Don’t show a hint of recognition
Let the attention go over your head
Don’t be another notch on his belt
Don’t ever enter his bed
If we split them up
And go for a walk
It’ll be easier for you
To get him to talk
He’ll reveal their business
He’ll spill the beans
Not that I’m nosey
By any means
It’s just that she
Is harder to read
And cleverly avoids
The questions I feed
So buy him a beer
To relax his tongue
And he’ll sing like a canary
Before too long.
Keep your knees together love
And straighten up your spine
And put a smile upon your face
Oh, and lower that hemline.
Unfortunately she has
To accept he’s right
So it’s humble pie for tea
And down on one knee tonight.
Unburden your troubles onto your mother
Tell her each detail of your dismay
And how you are the injured party
And how unfairly you were treated today
Reveal your anxiety to your mother
Tell her each word that at you was spat
And how you are the innocent victim
And how injustice has made you feel flat
Then end your chat with your mother
Tell her goodbye and go on your way
Feeling refreshed and invigorated
Whilst she’s left worried sick
For the rest of the day
He nipped into the closet
From her bed he quickly fled
When her man came home unexpectedly
As she feigned an aching head
But on the floor her partner spotted
A sock that was not his
Before seeing champagne glasses
Containing drink that had lost its fizz
Could you just tell me
In plain simple language
Exactly what it is you want me to do.
If you don’t tell me then how can
I possibly know?
I’m not a mind reader
Nor can I multi task
I’m simply a man
So just ask.

Ducks and drakes
And drama queens
Stand up comedians
Full of beans
Vaudeville acts
With ancient scenes
The smell of the grease paint
Wild kids in their teens
The opening night
Behind ‘dry ice’ smoke screens
The excitement, the thrill
That loud applause means.
Endless ladies queuing
For too few latrines
A drama, a comedy
A murder with fiends
An audience dressed anyhow
Elegance gone, they wear jeans.
The ice cream seller vital
So too, the sweeper who cleans
The theatre, the theatre
The home of our dreams!
