ode from a hotel utilities room: Xmas Eve 2012


Lava, Lava, Lavadora

You have a fiery latin aura,

Unlike the boring and mundane,

Anglo-saxon washing machine.

Your sister Secadora

Can spin and make my trousers warmer,

But only you, Lavadora,

Can make my underpants come clean.

TROUSER SHORTAGE: A RATIONAL SOLUTION


TROUSER SHORTAGE: A RATIONAL SOLUTION

I gotta deal with a real
Trouser Shortage here.

I gotta deal with a real
Trouser Shortage here.

Either my trousers have
Shrunk into shorts
Or my legs
Have grown in the night
Like giant bamboos
Fertilised by elephant dung
And they’re now too long

SO, I gotta deal with a real
Trouser Shortage here.

But, I know whatta do
Yes indeed, yes I do
I’m gonna get austere
To deal with the Trouser Shortage here.

Gonna cut my legs off
Gonna amputate them both
And then I’ll trust in future growth

That’s how I’ll deal with my
Trouser Shortage here.

YES
That’s how I’ll deal with my
Trouser Shortage here.
