Aalmost detached bewilderment
as the strain begins
to tell
on a relationship
presented to friends,
and seen by them,
as 'perfect'.
The music was written by Jon Hunt
who attempted
to imitate
my musical style!

Sing
a song of sixpence
a pocket full of vomit.
We've got a new
washing machine.
The price was the same as at Comet.
And every
day's a brand new day
but somebody forgot to tell God
and
with Radion
all odours are gone
and no-one thinks it's odd.
What
does it mean?
We've got a new washing machine.
It makes
the clothes clean.
It doesn't matter how dirty they've been
Mary
had a little lamb.
Its fleece was as white as soot.
They both
could have used our new washing machine
when the lamb decorated
her foot.
And dirty linen's wearing thin
and hanging out to
dry.
Oh it seems 'hello'
was long ago.
Was the washing
machine a 'good buy'?
Our
clothes are all in.
So let the programme begin.
Into a
spin.
The water and suds go round and round.
