Going Tits Up
He thinks she’s great but she’s a cheap shot slag
Leaves my flat smelling like a tranny’s handbag
Since upgrading to a D cup she’s far from shy
Put your silicone away Love, you’ll have out my eye
This image of his perception is a total farse
She’s even rougher than SuBo’s arse
I want to be wing girl and set him up with a beauty
I miss us high fiving when he scores with a cutey
She stays over again cause she ‘can’t afford to get back’
He says he doesn’t want sex... she sleeps showing her crack
She’s on repeat that she’s been hurt before
I’m engrossed in a script but she’s hard to ignore
She opens her mouth with a barking sound
I await her pissing on his leg to mark her ground
So when he asks me what I think I’ll be as honest as I can
‘Get the fuck out before there’s a bunny in a saucepan’.

I can hear John Cooper Clarke in my head...I can't even read it without adding those caustic consonants to myself. It is a wonderful piece for performance poetry...which reminds me that there is a huge difference between poetry on the page and poetry out loud. A lesson I keep needing to learn.
The first time I read it I hated it. Now I love it!
