Up West

Tom is nasty, brutish and short

Dick’s a one-trick oxymoron

Harry’s not listening to either

There’s a girl he’s got his eye on

Another brief encounter

Another Round of bitter

There’s an elephant needs washing

And that’s no job for a quitter 

Long forgotten Kings and Queens

Dogs and ducks and suns and moons

Pub names demanding ampersands

As they do in Weatherspoons

Every bump’s a grind in here

East End boys pay West End prices

Rat like chaps in Burberry Caps

Happy tapping on their digital devices
