Classic Poem

Dear Ma and Pa
What shall I say
Well how's it going then
I'm not so bad myself
With love your loving son
Can't just put that
Shirley I'm writing to the folks
Dear Ma and Pa
How are you then these days
I'm just about OK
Send money or failing that
Send food or failing that
Send love
With love your loving son
Shit no I can't put that
They wouldn't understand
Shirley it's time for the results
Shirley is doing fine
Who's she they'll say
Remember Shirley
That blonde last year
Shit of course they won't
And if I said
Remember her
Well anyway
Guess what
The thing is
It's like this
She's having a kid
A kid that'll say to her
With love your loving son
They wouldn't understand
Aston Villa and Arsenal
Dear Ma and Pa
It's bloody dull
What shall I say
Remember Shirley
She's beautiful
The thing is
Mother and Father
We hate each other
Dear Ma and Pa
We're happy now
Parties and laughs
So much to talk about
Weekends away
And life is hell
And I hate you all
The Villa and Arsenal
A long time since I wrote
Or saw
Only a note
To say well how about
Us coming this weekend
So write and send
Love
Shit they wouldn't understand
Aston Villa 4, Arsenal 2;
League Division 2:
Preston North End 4, Queen's Park Rangers 2;
Charlton Athletic 4, Plymouth Argyle 2.
