The mongrel cat came home



Holding half a head

Proceeded to show it off

To all his new found friends

He said,

'I been where I liked

I slept with who I liked

she ate me up for breakfast

she screwed me in a vice

And now

I don't know why I feel so tongue tied'

I sat in the cupboard

And wrote it down in neat

They were cheering & waving

cheering & waving

twitching & salivating

like with myxomatosis

But it got edited, fucked up

Strangled, beaten up

Used as a photo in Time magazine

Buried in a burning black hole in Devon

'I don't know why I feel so tongue tied

don't know why I feel so skinned alive'

My thoughts are misguided & a little naive

I twitch & salivate

like with myxomatosis

You should put me in a home or you

should put me down

I got myxomatosis

I got myxomatosis

'Now no one likes a smart arse'

'But we all like stars'

That wasn't my intention

I did it for a reason

He shook hands with the cripples &

He gave them all milk

He did a few card tricks

For his mafia geeks

But now

'I don't know why I feel so

tongue tied'
