NINETEENTH NERVOUS BREAKDOWN .. .

NINETEENTH NERVOUS BREAKDOWN .. .

initially I had been concerned about the subject of plageurism
and how you spell it
the americaan or the angleterre
or whether i need worry about another thing
did the pop group ever pay Publilious Syrus his commission
and surely they had been guilty of deception
under the trades description act of 1972
their adverse claim turned out quite untrue
they were neither a person (nor persons plural)
who does/did not settle in one place
neither did they – not accumulate wealth or status
or responsibilities or commitments
reading only the small print therein
also I could not hand on heart claim
it was actually my one short of a score thingy anyway
you know that thing what we didn’t like to talk about
except that ‘mental illness’ is now all the rage
who knew?
it’s almost like pink floyd was the chosen name of sir Syd Barrett
but they didn’t continue to pay him any money for it
although they wished he was there
that crazy crazy diamond
not sure you can call anyone crazy anymore
why did he need to file for bankruptcy?
i suppose he could have said
it’s my name and you can’t use it
but that would have been childish wouldn’t it?
a rhetorical question
and then we decide to watch two clowns in panto
not exactly in a debate in the forum
i waited for the pantomime horse to appear
but he was prancing on the other channel
making the sensible people laugh
those who have turned their backs on politics
the happy happy happy no voters
they are not crying in their beer
that democracy has failed
and western civilisation lies in tatters
they are not looking over their shoulders
at happy children days
or anywhere near approaching their
NIETEENTH NEROUS BEAKDOWN
