please help if you can

this village is becoming

increasingly posh

don't take my word for it

just look at the shops


the baker's become

yet another salon

the greengrocer's copped it

once staples - now gone


but three bridal shops ( ? )

there's momentum - we're moving

the barber shop now

it does bespoke male grooming


estate agents, southerners

kids with weird names

but i'm still a scroat though

resisting this change

...

plum, raspberry or peach?

dear auntie flo,

my mind is fucked

if you're real

your odd, confused nephew
