iShakespeare #1
i was with this sapper
well fit lad
his name was duncan
and we was fooling around on the sofa
snogging the faces off each other
is it really my fault
how quickly he reached
the point of no return
sizzle
i'm hot
come come come
let's play king and queen in bed
but it seemed he couldn't wait
shot his ickiness
all over
my new top
i sponged it down twice
but still it wouldn't wash off
i'll murder him if it stains
but what's done can't be undone
i'll worry about that tomorrow
iBrooke
passport stamped
by the ministry of sound
an easy jet from stanstead
to ibiza clubs
space pacha amnesia
hit the bars
for cheap pills
and cheaper booze
come the night time
un-tuneful singing in streets
littered with broken glass
piss and vomit
with lads binge shouting
in obscene anglo saxon
and fighting
over girls who flash
their sun burnt tits
if we should dance
our lives away
think only this of us
that we have turned
a paella based foreign island
into our own likeness
our little piece of eng-er-land
iLarkin
they do fuck yer up
yer mum and dad
when yer mum
picks yer up from school
with pink spikey hair
zips and leather bondage
trousers
and yer dad gets busted
on parents' evening
caught smoking a spliff
in the sixth form toilets
tongues wag
fingers point
the other kids
call yer a freak
except for the freaky ones
who think that yer cool
but all yer wanna do
is pass maths and english
hoping history
won't repeat its self
on you
iPlath
it would be so much easier
to get a take-away
after all
cooking is such a dangerous game
and whatever happened
to womens' liberation
i'm wearing flippers
riding a unicycle
trapped in a kitchen
i need this like i need
a hole in my head
chopping an onion
you guessed it
thought i might be able
to disguise what happened
by only using red things
tomatoes
peppers
then i ran out of ideas
can you put strawberries
in a casserole
red wine
i need a drink
and empty the bottle
into the pot
don't know why i'm bothered
from egg and chips or a sunday roast
salad or even a quick cheesy snack
if i'm doing the cooking
it's all gonna end up
