Vacuum-Packed for Fuckness

Vacuum-Packed for Fuckness

A Poem by C.R.Turner

Imagine you own a farm - a chicken farm say.
Every day you produce a certain amount of eggs.

Every day you go out and gather the eggs,
putting each one carefully into its carton pack.

You sprinkle some more nice feed for the hens,
place all your eggs into the van  then off into town.

Life is good, you whistle to yourself as you drive,
through the splashy potholes, over fox and fen.

But you arrive in town, to find it's all closed down,
never was, never were - no-one ever seen.

You wander round, calling names aloud
but no resound - even echoes don't respond.

Finally you have no choice, the town is void
you give up and go home.

The next day then you do the same again,
and the same void meets you there.

And the next day, and the next day after
always smiling, always meeting the void.

Until the day comes when you can smile no more
Your van stinks of rotten eggs.

THIS IS MY LIFE AS A SONGWRITER / COMPOSER.
ALWAYS KEEN, ALWAYS INSPIRED,
BUT REALLY NO-ONE GIVES A F**K.

It's tough out there. Musical instruments should be outlawed!
