Radio report

1,000 people died 

in the Indian financial capital

Due to the floods

I have a spot

One of those persistent ones

Annoyingly visible

Scottish football returns

Rangers are playing Livingstone

The game has a distinctive shape

What am I going to do 

about my flyaway hair

So long as you look after yourself

Karma will come to your rescue

The saying goes

Hope some fucker is watching my back though

Now that London is officially a war zone

Good job I’ve seen those films

Heard those records

Played those games

I’ll know exactly what to expect - I expect...

Just like the Livingstone defender

Any prannying around 

mistreating the enemy

And it’ll be a straight red card 

like the one he got

For upending the rangers striker

The dozy twot

Which is the last thing I’ll want

Having a fat red face 

to bring attention to my flyaway hair

And the certain fact

That I don’t give much of a toss 

about my drowning/starving brother

Preferring to invoke a hatred 

of some god I don’t believe in

And blaming him/her/it

Instead of hauling my arse out of the vanity puddle

Who's semi conscious lukewarm shallow depths 

I am drowning in

Moaning about the pain 

of my self inflicted injuries

lamenting the whole lotta what I haven’t got

From that same cruel Christmas shopping list god

Who really ought to be ashamed of him/her/itself

For not permanently disbanding the IRA

Tempering the greed of corporate billionaires

Hauling Indians out of the lake

Sorting out my spot and hair

And making me rich/powerful/famous/desirable 

before I kill myself

With a designer despairing cry of - god! 

It isn’t fair dot com

Why didn’t you help me 

win the euro lottery millions this weekend?

There's Plenty more where those dead Indians came from.
