BANG OUT OF ORDER
After the volcano the animals and the birds
with no found fear of man yet, full of glee, overheard
an invisible mystic say, "Watch your feathers and fur,
the ship on the horizon's cargo is a non sequitur
and Darwin's crew are not reading 'I, Ecotourist'
but enthralled by the epic 'This Happened, Then This'"
And the effing and jeffing as the ship came to dock
confirmed the prediction, as we forward the clock...
... to the glitz of the ghettos, kneep deep in four letter words
he takes delight in knocking down pretty birds
She falls in love in the libary full of Andy McNabb,
the scent of the bullets, the gift of the gab
And with a lazy lob on, he lies biting his lip
and she dropped a sprog on a sinking ship
Now, when you're aiming your gun at a man pleading for his kids
and you hated your father, sympathy is limited
Ideological trousers begin to chafe
Have fun fumbling with fables and frottage with faith
With the wit of a jobsworth, the charm of Marquis de Sade,
he took Viagra for the eyes so he could look hard
"Cheer up it might never happen", loving the benefits
Power's paws ever welcome on her threepenny bits
He said, "Assume position" and with not a hair out of place
the mobile nail technician sat on his face
Marriage and family - words redefined
Ever the liberal, he's changed his mind
Smelling salts for the goddess; Yesterday sterilise
Bang out of order, a word to the wise
Fortune and it's daughter Confidence
is being put through college, all apple fresh innocence
But bred from slaughter and a bit of fluff
the diamond daughter gets up the duff
