Manchester Train Waiting

They're flogging

Mulled bubbles

Down the

Manc swank bar

They're standing

At the station

Contemplating Kid R

The coldness is atrocious

The bar crawl is precocious

The supping tins

Basket bins

Eyes out

Wi' fluffy bras

Kids with

Mid range

Pre-coital stinge

Recluse their rage

Thus far

Brought together

By separation and

Saggy private

Scratchy tannoy

Mass mendacioun

Then a football fan 

With a driving ban

Sings this is MCR

Shake up this bag of
Traffic strip search for salty

Piece waggons off the shoulder

Classroom Shangri-la

The play entitled

"The disband of the

Supply and demand teacher

(Double feature)" 

Hit the cutting room floor

The cast of broken legs

Were signed off by kids

Boxed chocolates were scripts

For dwindling kindling

Unlistened to monologues

Were put to fire

There was no desire

To budget for another bucket

The caretaker was scared to

The head refused to

Remove itself from sand

The deputy danced

To the 11 year old band

At the Christmas show

Playing

Money money money
