dole (Remove filter)
Love Bank
round every corner's a food bank
but what about people like me?
my table creaks with provisions,
I'm never short of salmon for tea
its a love bank my heart needs
somewhere to nourish my soul,
fill my breast with fondant fancies
its been far too long on the dole
I dream of hot charitable staff
eager women dressed to kill,
piling my basket with promise

Retraining Bert
Chefing is not what it used to be
His boss called him in and explained.
'We're now on tier 3 says the edict,
and boozers like this have to close.'
'No boss, we're exempt,

all letters in the sand.

Little do we know how you have wrecked this industry.
And it’s all monkey work, I’ve seen a monkey do a better
Job than you! Move brown boxes from A to B in a futile
Effort for a bit of pocket money, no hard cash here.
Empty promises and sugar-coate...

Made moons blush
