Advancin' Back
(Bugger Political Correctness....
.......and anyway, a true story about my mate Glen.
'E read 'is paper front to t'back
I sez to 'im “Tha mu'n't”
A man should read 'is newspaper
Allus t'back to t'front.
You start wi' all the footy news-
Which manager's fo' t'sack
Then t'cricket scores and t'oss-racing
Then start advancin' back.
It's very 'ard to tell these days
Now everything's PC
Which side a fella's batting for
(At least it is to me!).
But papers are significant;
The only people skimmin'
A newspaper from t'front to t'back
Are batty boys and women”.

I don't give a damn who puts what where for giggles and kicks as long as they enjoy each other. Does this poem betray a small mind? I don't think it does. Keep on rockin', John. Although why only 'batty boys and women skim newspapers from front to back' - which used to be the only way I could stomach reading NME - is beyond me. Eh bien, c'est la guerre.
