LITTLE BASTARDS

entry picture

(It's that Trick-or-Treat time of year again)

 

Little Bastards, trick or treating

Little Bastards bloody cheating

Gave them sweeties, gave them money, gave them popcorn when they came

Little Bastards, trick or treating

Little Bastards need a beating

I got dog doo on my doorknob, I got dog doo

Just the same.

 

Little Bastards took my money

Little Bastards thought it funny

If they pulled up all the roses in my plantpots round my home

Little Bastards sweet and chummy

Little Bastards noses runny

As they spay-painted all my paving and they broke up

My garden gnome.

 

Little Bastards, not so little

Little Bastards, snot and spittle

Cans of lager in their fists as they gobbed on the window panes

Little Bastards still as gobby

Little Bastards, scuzzy, slobby

Little Bastards burnt my dustbins and they danced then

Around the flames.

 

Little Bastards, mummy’s darlings

Little Bastards crude and snarling

Made a circle in my garden as they pissed into my pond

Little Bastards, Little Fuckers,

They have took me for a sucker

Though I gave them £6.50 like a softie

I got conned.

 

Little Bastards’ charming greeting

Trousers down and start excreting

Little Bastards, mummy’s darlings, and, of course, they’re not to blame

Little Bastards trick or treating

Little Bastards bloody cheating

Cos I gave them all my money but got shafted

Just the same.

Too right, Steve. What's wrong with some good old English Morris dancing, I say?

Don't get me started on trick or treating. Export it back to the US of A I say!

£6.50 was a rhythmic contrivance, Harry. A Yorkshireman wouldn't part with that on his wife's Christmas present.

Bimey John!...£6 - 50! What are you tryin` to do - ruin the entire economy! (£6-50 in Liverpool and they`d think your house was worth `doin``)

Unfriend them, that`s what you should have done..with a huge thwack to the back of each ear...Or get a shark for the pond (I love kids)

Thanks, Andy and MC. Fortunately not entirely based on personal experience!

Next poem...

Turn the lights out on Halloween.
Blood and guts where they should have been
Saved £6.50, avoided a pissy pond
Skipped the doggy doo doo's
avoided all that feral booze
After all, what could I lose?

Nice one John. Enjoyed that.

Another witty ditty from the master - with, perhaps, the
uneasy feeling that this might have some basis in personal experience!
