teotwawki: a poem

Feb 5, 2017

The world it seems

is in a right old state

There’s wars and weather

and political mistakes.

Fake news and hacking

from foreign powers

The world it seems

is run by cowards.

The cost of electric

is set to rise.

And it’s getting harder to know

who are the good guys.

The weather is shit,

It’s wet and cold

And my back is knackered -

God, I’m getting old.

We’re only in February

and my boiler is broken

Which why my toes

And feet are frozen.

The world’s gone to shit

Is this another sign

That the human race

Has run out of time?

Bombs are still dropping

and we’re living on the edge

‘Cos shops have run out

of fruit and veg.

I guess the only thing to do

If you really want try

Is put your head between your legs

And kiss your arse goodbye.
