I’ll TAKE THAT!

By the Urban Poet

If you want a win you’ll take a draw

‘Cos losing hits a nerve that’s raw

As good times go you’ll take the bad

An alternative to going mad

 

Now as for diets and keeping slim,

you’ll take whatever clothes your in

As long as they look reasonable enough,

to get the doubters to call your bluff 

 

You’ll take any odds on a winning horse

As long as the nag just finishes the course 

If front of every other jockey

Especially the one that’s looking stocky

 

If the Sat-nav says to take a right

You’ll take a left to avoid missing your flight

to Spain or France or the Canary Isles

But the food will probably give you piles

 

But no matter where, or what you’re at 

The tax man says “hey I’ll take that”
