The Things We Do for Glove #2

I hold a seashell right next to my ear
so I can hear the mermaid's booty call.
I wear my Christmas jumper down to the pier
yet I don't feel like a bell-end, not at all.


How audaciously flirtatious!
Mendacious and voracious!
Now we circle round the buffet
like red kites preying on After Eights.
So, Garçon! Bang your gong!
We've got our bibs and napkins on!
Today's the day that Galloway vibrates.


HEAR ONLY MY VOICE.
Annoying, isn't it?

SEE ONLY MY FACE.
Don't you just want to punch it?

I AM THE LIGHT.

I AM YOUR LIFE.

Getting shorter
day by day...
