Legal Tender
Out walking I saw a fifty pence piece
On the pavement
I looked round before bending over
My lucky day but
Trying to prise the thing free
Not knowing it was superglued I
Did my back in.
After lying up a few days I returned with a crowbar
In a carrier bag but
The coin was gone
Now I glue them to the
Path outside my window
Its great fun watching folk trying to
Lever one free
Old ladies are best
On their knees
Sweating
The lengths they go to, sometimes
Coming back when its dark with
Useless tools, a mole wrench or a
Hacksaw I'm half-expecting an
Angle grinder
By rights I should film them and though
I've lost five already
Its worth it for
I laugh fit to bust, though
The neighbours are starting to wonder and
I have to watch my back which is still
Tender
