A Day Off

A Day Off
Security at all airports in the UK
Will be non-existent just for one day
Passport control told the government to stick it
So go board a plane
No need for a ticket
A police announcement at the same time
Said drink driving will not be a crime
On this occasion it’s not be a big deal
To drink past the limit
And drive where you will
The fire brigade's spending the day in bed
No fires will be put out today they said
For twenty four hours they intend to retire
Now strike those matches
And light up a fire
From this dawn till next no hospital will
Be looking after anyone ill
And ambulance callers can to go to Hell
It’s not a good day
For being unwell
In a further announcement the police released
A statement all patrolling’s ceased
Nobody’s watching CCTV
You can ram raid a shop
Grab something for free
Drugs are all legal kids can get drunk
Snort lines of coke and smoke joints of skunk
There’s no age restriction today there’s no need
Go spend your sweets money
On booze coke and weed
Back to work
Woke this morning the news was filled
With numerous plane crashes countless killed
No clues found no established facts
No reasons for so many
Terror attacks
On motorways vehicles stacked up in piles
Mangled dead bodies for miles and miles
Police have advised don’t travel by car
The roads are shut
You won’t get very far
Then came breaking news an aerial view
Of smoke so thick you couldn’t see through
Reports of charred bodies and arson abound
Westminster’s gone
It’s been burnt to the ground
The phone rang and I sat up in bed
A nurse’s voice at the other end said
I have some bad news I’m so sorry to say
Your father has peacefully
Passed away
I lay for a while got up and got dressed
Felt deeply disturbed despondent depressed
Went downstairs saw glass everywhere
Looked outside
And the car wasn’t there
And where was my wife when this day begun?
She was upstairs looking after our son
Now coming round from being out cold
In a drunken stupor
At twelve years old
Back to bed
Pondering impulses unrestrained
The morning has left me mentally drained
I head back upstairs reflect on the day
And lying in bed
I wish it away
