IF
bawling muZic flabby bellies
adolescents lashed to tellys
surfeits of yapping pooping dogs
sad princesses who marry frogs
those beggars laying guilt-edged traps
adults with ‘macho' schoolboy caps
absurd tattoos pierced body parts
plain-looking chicks with tarty arts
that neighbour you fiercely detest
with ever-effervescing zest
loud snoring in your precious bed......

if these distress you think instead
that ’tis a modest price to pay
for that free gift of Priceless Day!
