Poetry

There once was a Yank in the UK

He'd been there since back in Y2K

While the girls made him smile

The food was quite vile

And the beer was utterly pUK

There was a young lady named Valerie

Who oft consumed many a calorie

Her clothing was roomy

Her health reports gloomy

And her food bill exceeded her salary

A Roger Waters parody

Isn't work horrid? Aren't I glad

That I don't have to do it.

Isn't time horrid? There's never enough

I must confess I blew it.

Isn't money horrid? But I don't care

I'm rolling in the stuff

Isn't war horrid? People say

I've said this often enough

Are you mental? So am I

And so's my old band friend

Every silly stupid thing

Will all come to an end.
