ON THE OUTSKIRTS AGAIN<\/span><\/b>
\n\u00a9Trev Teasdel, Coventry March 1969<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nI’ve travelled down the country far<\/span>
\nI was a motor car.<\/span>
\nRushing speeding, my oil was bleeding<\/span>
\nMy tyres had worn away.<\/span>
\nArriving at the shipping docks<\/span>
\nI found I had no socks.<\/span>
\nI looked around to see the time<\/span>
\nbut they hadn’t any clocks.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nI spied upon a young female<\/span>
\nWho looked at me so tenderly<\/span>
\nI felt so cold and frail.<\/span>
\nShe offered me a cup of tea<\/span>
\nThen wouldn’t let me be.<\/span>
\nI gave her all I had to give<\/span>
\nJust so that I could live.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nI crept upon a sailing ship<\/span>
\nFor to get my kip.<\/span>
\nWe sailed away, along the sea<\/span>
\nJust where alone i could be.<\/span>
\nThe sea was calm, i did no harm<\/span>
\nI was happy to be free.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nTen hours later, an alligator<\/span>
\nrushed upon the deck<\/span>
\nI couldn’t fight, I was a sight<\/span>
\nA trembling nervous wreck.<\/span>
\nThrough narrow pipes of food hole types<\/span>
\nI flowed unwillingly.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nInto a vast and gloomy room<\/span>
\nI felt so all alone.<\/span>
\nI looked around, up and down<\/span>
\nbut couldn’t find a phone.<\/span>
\nI prayed aloud, within my shroud<\/span>
\nThis shouldn’t be allowed.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nThrough narrow pipes of food hole types<\/span>
\nI sailed like a kite<\/span>
\nThere upon, I saw a tongue<\/span>
\nI knew I wasn’t wrong.<\/span>
\nPass alerted teeth I fell<\/span>
\nlike the arrows of William Tell.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nUpon the land I saw a hand<\/span>
\npointing to a band<\/span>
\nWho learned to play the song the way<\/span>
\nit was really meant to be.<\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nI’m on the outskirts again.<\/span>
\nI’m on the outskirts again.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
