The Illustrated Moobs

I completed my toilet
(desisted from pissing
against a bookcase in the library)
and called for my cravat and hat,
my spats and riding crop,
for a grand night out
in the jolly old metrop.

A film and then some dinner
then the nightly attempted murder...

The director's cut of Condorman
went down like a Zeppelin.
She gripped me tightly
by the wig; tried to drown me
in ten centimetres of Cullen skink.
(That's just under four inches.)

She's a feisty one
and no mistake.
We're meeting tomorrow
at half past eight.

We're going to see Rod Steiger
in The Illustrated Moobs.
I hope I don't incur her wrath.
In any case, I'll avoid the broth.
