Cannonball
I’d like to be a cannonball:
Smash through things and knock down walls
I’d leave a trail of destruction in my wake
Before it’s even time to take a tea break.
I’d like to drink fifteen pints of lager
And ride through the shopping centre like a knight on a charger
Smashing things merrily as I go
Making a mess with a creamy gateaux
I’d like to swear loudly in a quiet bar
And drive like a maniac in a bright red car
I’d go the wrong way down a one way street
And for a quiet guy like me that’d be something of a treat
I’d like to smash windows and cause havoc
Make a lot of noise and start a panic
Then I’d slip on my shoulders my cloak of invisibility
And disappear from the scene, with due humility
