piss off christmas ( my christmas poem )
…
then christmas rears
the dark of the year
glib festive twats
shit festive cheer
so spend spend spend
you're dosh fucking shite
it's all a con
for jesus christ
that mortal fraud
yet there's pagan roots
oft ignored when
it doesn't suit
those bibled scum
( they're )
their devil itself
piss off christmas
you're bad for our health

wake-up poem by some pisspot-poet or other
…
begin begin
the opening part
act one scene one
the dawn of start
the cock has crowed
then died on his arse
there is no script
it's shit not art
it's not a song
there aren't any words
the cock? piffle
there are no birds
just make it up
go on - have a splurge
mar blank a4
with bastard verse

they're called catkins
because they're cool
