CheersA Poem by KateShould you ever get lost In the country of Herds of sheep Dotting the Malvern Hills Shepherds paying off their bills In the country of Fake beer Swigged by hooligans Or else football fans Just count the costs Or listen to a word Full of hints With which Everything begins..
It's 25p please - - Cheers A pint of beer please - - Cheers The toilet is on the left - - Cheers Would you like a bag? - - Yes please, cheers
Cheers inserted In between my teeth Like a toothpick Like a floss Like a tiny slice of cheese Like a finger stuck up my nostril Wrapped in a handkerchief
A flag with the blue-red cheers Of the Union Jack Of Saint George And his cross, lion and rose Is screwed onto the Briton's land Into Friday empty streets Above shops' windows´ frames By the English hands To feast on the day Of the Queen Elisabeth's birth fame Sipping cheers with milk Raising her pinkie So-de-li-ca-te-ly Allowing herself no fling
Cheers in a washing basket Cheers decorating a casket Cheers cartwheeling like mad Cheers arching like a Hepburn's cat Cheers forward hurtling -
- Rolling rolling rolling - - Like an ET-shaped plectrum - -Gliding the guitarist's
solo spectrum -
- Of cheers over the strings Cheers in your cereals Cheers on bread and toast Cheers with fish and chips Cheers with sauce and dips
My head is cheersing Like a nausea feeling I get every time you cheers me In the bath On the phone In the shop Over the counter Passing me drugs Behind the till Giving me a receipt hug
Cheers in the idioms Shouted by all idiots You drive me cheers You make me cheers You scream blue cheers You propose a cheers To the newly-wed flees In a couple of limousines From the reception's baked Cheesecake But please, Don't give me any of your cheers! Any of your Cheerios!
Cheers! © 2016 Kate |
