POETRY - Spot of McGough


What I wouldn't give for a nine to five.
Biscuits in the right hand drawer,
tea breaks, and typists to mentally undress.

The same faces, somewhere to hang
your hat and shake your umbrella.
Cosy. Everything in its place.

Upgraded every few years. Hobbies.
Glass of beer at lunchtime
Pension to look forward to.

Two kids. Home loving wife.
Bit on the side when the occasion arises
H.P. Nothing fancy. Neat semi.

What I wouldn't give for a nine to five.
Glass of beer int he right hand drawer
H.P. on everything at lunchtime.

The same 2 kids. Somewhere to hang
your wife and shake your bit on the side.
Tea breaks and a pension to mentally undress.

The same semi faces upgraded.
Hobbies every few years, neat typists
in wet macs when the umbrella arises.

What I wouldn't give for a cosy biscuit.
