I Hate the Clotted Creams

entry picture

I fear the worst…

And hate the best

 

They’ve made it crystal   clear

On the backs of our sinking boat

 

Perched high

On our expectations

They scooped the cream

 

I fear the worst

And hate the rest

 

Who didn’t wait for their hip replacement

But slide over the que

 

Lay in a cushion bed

All silky and clean

Giorgio Armani

The latest I phone

Supreme …

 

I love the rest ..

 

Who put themselves before others

And hate the clotted creams

That skim of our backs
