Sitting on a park bench --

Eyeing little girls with bad intent.

Snot running down his nose --

Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.

Drying in the cold sun --

Watching as the frilly panties run.

Feeling like a dead duck --

Spitting out pieces of his broken luck.

Sun streaking cold --

An old man wandering lonely.

Taking time

The only way he knows.

Leg hurting bad,

As he bends to pick a dog-end --

He goes down to the bog

And warms his feet.

Feeling alone --

The army's up the rode

Salvation a la mode and

A cup of tea.

Aqualung my friend --

Dont you start away uneasy

You poor old sod you see, its only me.

Do you still remember

Decembers foggy freeze --

When the ice that

Clings on to your beard is

Screaming agony.

And you snatch your rattling last breaths

With deep-sea-diver sounds,

And the flowers bloom like

Madness in the spring.
