| Songs of Hate and Love Posted: 10/19/2007 11:50:09 AM | Belfast Town (when i was young)
Narrow streets in parallel terraces Small and neat many like palaces Homes with toilets without in the yards Yes within them lived a few bards Doorsteps shining polished and clean Never heard a word obscene Lamp posts lit by flickering light No to many burned that bright Quarry tiles in hallways beckoned On the table a loaf of bracken Doors left open always inviting Sometime children outside fighting No bathrooms within where I came from But still home always felt like home You got washed in a bath in front of the fire The soap was rough it felt like wire Churches languished on every street corner Generally it was safe to dander and wander Sweet shops normally a house converted We never heard of the word perverted Every friday with a couple of bob Our Daw would give us after he finished his job With a few pence we could get the Beano or Dandy God I remember now I fancied Mandy The entries run dark at the bottom of each street We knew that was were all boggiemen would meet When we passed a dark entry would would run like hell If I was the last I would scream and yell The roads had few cars and we could play with our guiders Four wheels, two axles and we would go to buy sliders The italians had come over perhaps after the War Irrespective of religion they were the best for Making ice cream that would melt on your pallet Pity my poor Daw had not much in his wallet There were bars on the corners across from the Church railings And bookies where men would always be wailing The pawn shops were again next to the bars So men wanting a drink did not have to go far At the top of the street ran what we called the Road It was the hub of activity or so I am told Each Saturday morning the shops would all be busy Anything could be bought, it would make your head dizzy The trams and the buses would ease the burden For the shopping bags were laden that one day for certain The other six days there was not much on the table Speading things around, was what made women able Clothes were handed down from brother to brother Shorts and jumpers were sewn by your mother Labels were things which had no real meaning Those with money had cornices on their ceiling The event of the summer was to go to the park You could play football from dawn until dark The swings had a see saw and a merry go round And if you got loss you would be safely found Our street was deserted no one had a car Now and again we kids would run through the bar In one door quickly and run out the back But if you were caught you would surely get decked Men took no nonsense they would give you a thump If you complained to you mum she would take the hump The adults chastised us but without any pleasure They did it for our good and those memoires I treasure A time when the poverty was abundant for all But the doors were all open and you were welcome to call | |

I want to love but know not why I want to feel but cannot cry I want to touch and also be touched I want a little but I want it much I want what others cannot give I want so much so I can live I want all things that money cannot buy I want you and I want you now I want what's mine what destiny has ordained I want what others may also destain I want the want of the selfish child I want to be free and want to run wild I want no yolk no chains on me I want to be what I can be I want to see without my eyes I want to sore over an azure sky I want no bronze or silver or gold I want to be free from being told I want the simple and I want the best I want to be able to contest I want nothing from you in a material sense I want the future and not the past tense I want assurance I want a dream But most of all I want an ice cream | |

| i want you Posted: 10/19/2007 2:31:20 PM | I'm so sorry...I JUST finished this piece this morning and saw your thread and felt compelled to toss mine out here...forgive me...*smile*
you look in my eyes deep, seeking me out, searching ... i want to know you, show you who I am. your hand reaches out, softly stroking my face, fingers running thru fire lit hair. i ache for your touch watching you lean down, tasting my mouth with a smile brilliantly seductive, relentlessly warm ... hungry. your breath on my throat, a warm sigh. your kisses, flickering flames branding me, vibrating my senses infusing convictions, bursting realizations. all my doubts laid to rest as I reach out for you whispering hotly, softly ... ... i want you ... | |

| Songs of Hate and Love Posted: 10/19/2007 2:40:51 PM | The bureaucrat
You little turd You son of a dog You are a waste of space And as dense as fog The worst thing I could say to you Is that you are a bureaucrat And motherless too You are a civil servant You deserve my contempt You are a government lackie With neither parent You tell me how to behave You demand my taxes You charge me rates You ignore my faxes You are full of shite Your boss is an ass You have no tact And you are always crass You hide behind anonimity You won't answer the phone If you were a dog I wouldn't toss you a bone You quote me rules and regulations I hope you find eternal damnation You are a simple creature You cannot think I care not for your stress Or how much that your drink You choose your profession You work for the bosses You never make profits And always make losses You fritter away my hard earned gain Every year it is always the same The slighest mistake I make on my forms Like are a bunch of leeches You try to make me conform Original thinking is not your style Without your offical guidance You would last just a short while You are unoriginal and have a brown tongue I imagine you daily licking your bossses bum You produce nothing except paper and files I see you coming and I run a mile You work for the revenue, you work in the schools You work in the hospitals, but you never use tools Your tool is your pencil, your pen and your computer I see you each morning the daily commuter You delight in your pension paid by my tax You will retire early as I still break my back You are always on sick leave a poor sickly soul Then here I see you playing nine holes The man who has no skills or talent or class Is the man you will see carrying the civil service pass You dictate how we live down to the nth degree If you were on fire not on you would I pee How I hate all bureaucracy and government minions Who bleed us to death and yearly waste trillions I have to go now for to an interview I must depart To go and see the tax man and try and find his heart | |

| Songs of Hate and Love Posted: 10/19/2007 2:49:08 PM | Impure thoughts as Christie Moore says are not allowed!
I want poems that are clean and pure That keep my mind off thoughts impure I want verse to keep my mind active Not sexy thoughts that can be distractive I want lines that are good and wholesome Not the words that get me going some Oh good God things were much more simple When I was 15 and had lots of pimples Girls were things from another planet Aaghh, but no, just wait. Agh, yes then there was Janet! | |

| Songs of Hate and Love Posted: 10/20/2007 5:06:58 AM | The Walking Man
The walking man Walking every day I meet him always Somewhere along the way He's over eighty He has partial sight He is out walking Day and night With an old jacket And his bright yellow vest He slowly walks Never seems to rest His pace is slow But steady and even I wonder if he is coming Or is he leaving Summer, Autumn Winter and then Spring The walking man Spreads his wings His family may have left He may be on his own Alone he walks Free from a mobile phone He is oblivious To the cold and snow Along the lanes Wandering he goes With a white stick in hand And his layers of clothes No one knows Where the walking man goes I often wonder If he owns a home If that's the reason The walking man roams He goes at a dander Not a spring in his gait But then he's near eighty And I don't think he's late He is not in a rush To get from A to B I think that perhaps He detours via D to Zee The walking man Keeps walking on Stopping occassionally Listening to bird song I hope to see him When next I run Otherwise I fear His end will have come | |

| Songs of Hate and Love Posted: 10/20/2007 5:28:46 AM | Wee Betty the Cleaner
Betty the cleaner Drove me mad She was so neat and tidy But not at all bad She dusted and cleaned From morning until noon Then she started all over All to soon She cleaned the steps She cleaned the streets If you walked in She cleaned your feet She hoovered the carpet She washed the glass One day I caught her Vacuuming the grass It was an illness It was a disease She could never sit still Or be at ease The comics were lifted Sat neat on a pile Everything in order Everything on file If you moved from the table Your plate was whipped away Scrubbed, washed and dried Before you could say Hey!! I have not finished My chips are uneaten If you opened you gob Surely you would get beaten You could eat your dinner Of the bathroom floor The brass was polished On the entrance door The beds were made Whilst you still lay asleep You had to stay silent Not make a peep A professional cleaner Was my dear mother She washed and scrubbed Me and my brother Our shoes were polished Our teeth were cleaned Our hair was groomed Yes we were preened Now I'm fifty And living alone I wonder if I Should pick up the phone Come over mum I know that you are able I need you once more To clean up the table | |

| Songs of Hate and Love Posted: 10/20/2007 9:44:27 AM | Walking out of the nursing home today where three people and as i watched these words came to mind
Four generations:
Three generations walking in line Grandmother, mother and daughter of mine Four generations if I am included So I muscle in not to be excluded
I could not help wondering if Grandmother lives on Say for a few more years and not just in song If my daughter gets pregnant and if a baby is born alive With this here family the generations will be five | |

| Songs of Hate and Love Posted: 10/20/2007 10:04:58 AM | To John
John died On the kitchen floor He was my cousin He is no more He died a death No man should die He was only forty Ready to fly With a tube down his throat Trying to get a breath He died you will agree A horrible death His eyes wide with panic As he realised his fate His body trembling in anquish Seeing the Grim Reaper wait A premature end To a life full of promise To his only son He'll be badly missed After cries of help He died in vain When help arrived Death was in his veins Laying naked On the kitchen floor John lay asleep Alive no more The coke May have killed him We can't be sure All that is relevant Is for death there is no cure John was a young man Nearing forty one And he leaves behind An only son The young lad Walked behind the funeral car He sat alone in the kitchen When the men went to the bar This young son of twelve Orphaned too soon He needed his dad Who shone like the moon His hero had gone To eternal rest Leaving the others behind To do their best To all of your here Who like take dope Please try to remember Those left behind to cope When you are dead and in your coffin When you are no longer breathing and laughting When the earth has long gone icy cold Who have you left with no one to hold Gamble with your own life But not the lives of others Think now of your own sons Your sisters and brothers. | |

| Songs of Hate and Love Posted: 10/20/2007 2:37:48 PM | What If
What if it had never happened What if I had stayed sane What if I had resisted What if I was to blame
What if my prayers were answered What if my prayers were ignored What if love's departed What if I was restored
What if the end is over What if more is still to come What if sorrow is momentary What if this dance is done
What if my tale is finished What if this is the end What if hope is vanquished What if I can comprehend
What if our paths should cross What if fates again collide What if residual passions What if they never died
What if I live on memories What if my heart turns cold What if love escapes me What if as I grow old

| Songs of Hate and Love Posted: 10/20/2007 2:49:42 PM | Internet dating
Cast down, rejected, torn assunder Blood and guts spilled no wonder Once again no luck, no gain Must try harder same refrain
Singles divorced, separated and parted All have joined up, all broken hearted Searching the ether for perhaps a friend Prepared for rejection all over again
Computer dating has become all the rage For us in our forties approaching old age One last chance to change our fraternity One more soul mate from here to eternity
Desperately hoping, searching each and every night No one around, no one in sight Then perchance one spots a smiling face Heart a flutter and increasing in pace
How to make contact and still look cool No one so old wants to look like a fool Which approach stands the most chance of success Be suave, be witty, compliment her dress
Waiting in hope for some vague recognition For some inkling that one is at the starting position Heart sinks low and confidence shattered You pretend to yourself that it never mattered
You wonder and reflect and look back on your life Occasionally you ask if you missed your wife Then a contact arrives and says that you look cute Then it's out tomorrow to buy a new suit

| Songs of Hate and Love Posted: 10/21/2007 3:57:04 AM | Judical Review
The judge has given direction The jury is now out I sit and wonder How it will all turn out
I pleaded my case I had my full say I look for justice I demand it today
I am not guilty Stood here accussed I turn to the law Battered and brusied
I don't ask for mercy For I'm an innocent man I have been condemned Dealt an unfair hand
I ask for equity I want a fair hearing And yet I look And see you sternly glaring
Justice and wisdom I expect from the law The sort that I got From my maw and paw
The wisdom of Solomon I look from your mind After all they say Justice is not blind
The scales of justice Are equally balanced Justice to be done Must be transparent
Make your judgement quickly Don't keep me fretting Nervously I wait Wondering, regreting
I seek arbitration A righteous decision Consider the evidence Weigh up with precision
Mediate and deliberate And give me your reasons Don't hang me to dry I have commited no treason
Don't put the sackcloth On top of your head On condemn me to the hang man To swing till I'm dead
I sit and silence Wait to hear my fate Come on darling Give me a date!
Jez, whats a man got to do to get a date around here? | |

| Songs of Hate and Love Posted: 10/21/2007 11:18:44 AM | Girls ever been propositioned by an Investment Banker?
If I invest in you Will you be true Will my deposit bring a commission If contributions I make Will you later me forsake In the matramonial war of atrition
What interest will I obtain Will there be a gain Will the interest be gross or net I don't look for guarantees Or equity freebees Will the repayment schedule be met
What security for me If I romance thee Will the risk match my emotional gain What if my liquidity dies And my balance sheet lies Will your intenton to me be the same
If I have no secure holdings Or architectural mouldings Will you return my attentions If my petty cash is gone And my acquistions are not strong Please tell me what is your intention
Romance is not yet dead! | |

| Songs of Hate and Love Posted: 10/21/2007 11:28:59 AM | Do you hear voices?
I heard a voice Above the rest A voice that was unspoken I heard this voice Not once but thrice And again I was awoken It was not audible To the ear I now know that for certain The voice I heard In the dead of night Was from a very important person I listened in semi-slumber To my inner voice berating It told me that I was wrong It left me contemplating Why was I wrong I asked myself Each morning as I awakened A few moments later The voice is gone I arise and am forsaken | |

Tingling sensation Body becomes aware Skin tightens Textures defined Shapes starting to change Hands clenched Toes start to claw Eyes wide close Breathing deepens Life comes rushing With each tender touch Blood starts pumping Erect and hard Responsive In anticipation Heart racing Gasps of air Mingle with Slow purrs of satisfaction Developing into deeped moans Hands gentle Holding firm Fingers nimble Dancing Stroking Teasing Expert touch From experienced teacher Having the desired effect Body and mind become one Equally responding to sensations Wanting to climax Not wanting it to stop Mixed emotions Swelling arises Fulyl textured and developed Responding to concentric circles Weighless fingers Building to estacy Hand firm but gentle Moving harder then faster Building still exploring Wanton abandon At the touch of lips Then tongue Finally fully erect Nipple explodes | |

| Songs of Hate and Love Posted: 10/22/2007 10:00:29 AM | The Rights of Man (and for the politically correct - Woman)
The Rights of Man Are not cast in stone The reverse of Mose's commandments Obligations long brought home Everyone is aware of their individual rights It's become a Paine in the ass Somehow I sit and wonder If it's really all about class Rights are not Freely given Rights and promises That history has driven With such rights Come responsibilities They are imposed On all people, you and me The equation is simple It is balanced and fair Not skewed or distorted By colour or hair All men are born equal Under the law of God Be they Catholic Be they Prod Human Rights and Equality of all peoples Set standards and norms Expected of equals Rights acquired Without obligations Detract from us all Lead to conflagrations To be empowered To have rights secured All people on earth Must have surely matured Hindu, Muslim, Rasta Or Sikh You are no different You are not unique If your rights are The same as mine They we are together Joined , entwined Obligated You must be compatable Accept that and You become responsible Arguing for inalienable rights Remember to responsibilites To your brother, your mother And also to me If I am a human Put on earth by God I don't want cheated By one posing as a fraud You claim to have The same rights as I But then you kill You murder, you lie If you have the Same acquired rights You can't remove mine By power or might If that is your view Then please contemplate Your rights are obtained By injustice and by hate | |

| Songs of Hate and Love Posted: 10/22/2007 2:05:56 PM | Politicians (Love them or HATE them)
George Bush was to far to the right He and his dad were just busting for a fight Many people thought that the was quite insane When he invaded Iraq to kill Sadam Hussain
Bill Clinton was to the left of centre He became Monica's favourite mentor When she bent down to tie her shoe lace Bill closed his eyes, prayed and said grace
I did not have sexual intercourse with that woman I just produced sperm and could not stop it comin I know all my countrymen agree I'm an honest broker I was a real gentleman and did not try to choke her
Hilary was the dutiful wife of old Bill But she never seemed to be quite trilled Frustrated by never seeing an proper erection She changed her profession and sought election
Guiliani's liberal claims appear to be true He supports the NYPD the good old boys in blue He supports Gays and will legalise abortion As he seeks power he performs political contortions
Al Gore became a man painted green His manison when lit up is something obscene He travels the world clocks up millions of miles We give him awards and he knowingly smiles
Margaret Thatcher was an industrial chemist When elected she made the British a promise She promised pain to eliminate industrial stagnation She cocked-a-snoop at the European nations
John Major followed on from the Iron lady Some said he was dull, others said he was slim shady Many years later grey John's face turned red When the nation found out who he took to bed
Tony Blair is moving towards cannonisation Eulogised by many within the United Nations He stood on his soap box and smiled and grinned Unanimously he was declared the King of Spin
Gordon Brown is the son of a Scottish preacher It is said that smiling is not his best feature For too long now he has played second fiddle Now referendums pose Gordon a problematic riddle
Why can't I get a blow job in the Presidential suite With a girl on her knees and I on my feet Is it because of my fear of rejection That an intern can't give me a powerful erection
So here we have it the great and the good Who are constantly telling us they are misunderstood Charletons and Cheats, Spin Doctors and Liars I would burn the whole damn lot on funeral pyres
Self seeking egotists obscessed with political gain Do somersaults and cart wheels time and again Never answering a straightforward question with a direct reply They treat us like fools with their political lies
Don't be surprised how this political elite Ignore and despise the ordinary man in the street Look to see how they feather their own nest Each one shouting that they are different from the rest
They claim union with the common man They say sincerely that they are his biggest fan Then they award themselves pay rises and huge pensions And tax us all in every dimension
Hold them to account and make them squirm and be embarrassed Those who seek office should always be harassed Those who are elected are the servants of the electorate Yet they are no different than some Soviet inspectorate
It is no wonder that democracy is in decay When our politicians lie and cheat very day Where do we find the honest minister Who has nothing to hide and is who not sinister
The electorate are becoming disenfranchised By greedy pigs who are feeding us continually more lies Why vote for Congressmen who shag young boys Then they laugh at us their political toys
Where have they now decided to next invade How many more young men will they take to their grave Their underhanded dealings and machinations Is a grave injustice to the fathers of our nations
No honesty, integrity or high intellectual debate No wonder Joe Public has become so irate Next time you want to vote and you get your ballet Vote for me and help feather my wallet | |

I don't care much for art Or for science or philosophy I'm a well know celebrity I care only about me I'm the centre of attention I don't share my stage Don't ever question me Or I will fly off in a rage When I start to fade from the silver screen I can make up stories I can also act obscene I can say I was beaten Molested by my old dead dad My mother was a drunk All my family were all bad I can rubbish my partner I can tell of my sordid affairs For to be a celebrity My soul I must bare.
Who said the only good celebrity is a dead one?! | |

| Songs of Hate and Love Posted: 10/24/2007 11:13:00 AM | Another rant, so of we go.
Culture of Claim
Look not to the ancient cultures of Greece and Rome Look to a new culture which is much closer to home This culture is one of avarice and greed It is a culture which many individuals seek to feed Over the last few decades we have witnessed a culture of claim One that means no one is ever responsible or ever to blame Personal responsibilty has now clearly ended Worst of all no one seems to be very offended Individuals seek out and look to determine Some other personality to fund their misfortune Should one person trip or occassion a loss Don't blame yourself, simply blame the boss So for all you poor loss souls A claim may be your pot of gold If doctors being fallible make a mistake Count up quickly how much you can make If you car is slightly brushed by another Hold you arms, cry and call for your mother Sure are not all the professionals all insured So just claim if your illness can't be cured No matter if your liver is shot by too much booze Take an action against the medics you cannot loose A lawyer will help you after finishing chasing the ambulance He will be inventive and help you both to obtain opulance It's not as if you are being corrupt The insurer or the government won't go bankrupt Why does one so imperfect expect perfection of others Why expect higher standards of your sisters and brothers It is me who pays my taxes and premiums To pay for all your unfortunate conundrums You defraud not just the corporate organisations But all us individuals who make financial donations Why do you not wish to become responisble Why do you make me also culpable Your actions are no less lying and cheating Just because it big business you happen to be fleecing When you walk on the pavement do your eyes not see The overhanging branch from the distinctive tree Why do those who subscribe to this culture Simply remind me of circuling vultures As you spend my hard earned money which supports your claim I wonder why you do not hang your head in shame Note that as the work ethic diminishes The reliance on negligence increasingly rises As vicarious liability goes expotential More men become unemployable Supported by those in the noble legal profession These last few years have wittnessed a rising procession Of false claims and bewildering legal actions As malingers and cheats look for financial satisfaction No win no claims is like a free invitation To make false claims from every situation The legal pimps in their designer suits Work on the principle that it is all about loot They are all about equitable redistribution From us to them whenever it suits them It appears that men are no longer real men Like children and chickens they run and pretend That they have suffered unneedlessly and occassioned loss Then they take legal actions against their neighbours or boss

| Songs of Hate and Love Posted: 10/24/2007 12:16:57 PM | The narcissist
I'm an narcissist I'm always right If you don't agree With me you will fight
I'm always right I'm never mistaken I'm simply misunderstood Always forsaken
I am the very best There has ever been I should have been on The TV screen
I know better Than every other man If I anyone can do it I know that I can
I can do anything That other men can do But I can do it better Yes better than you
I dream and scheme And live in a world of my making The world's my oyster It's all for the taking
I suffer no fools I suffer no weaklings I loved being adored Like a story book King
Whats wrong with Being narcisistic There's no other feeling It's simply fantastic
Don't listen to those who say That narcissism Is too closely related To phantasism
To be at the top At the top of the table Knowing to oneself That I'm the most able
I stand on my pedestal Look down on the rest Yes I know better I am the very best
Minions and underlings Can't comprehend I do not need them To be my friend
I am going places You can come too But just understand I'm better than you
If I have no money It's a temporary matter It's not my fault I blame my father
It's not that I lie Or manipulate But for me you must Always congratulate
I was born this way From the age of ten I've been fantastic Since I can comprehend
I have delusions Or realities You must choose It matters not As a narcissist I can't lose
I am of to make my next big buck I'm a narcisist so I won't need luck | |

| Songs of Hate and Love Posted: 10/25/2007 4:21:38 AM | Peace
Peace to Northern Ireland has come No more bombs and no more guns The Provos have put their guns to rest Paisley has removed his bullet proof vest The boys have gotten together and climbed into bed We all hope that we are not mislaid The uneasy peace has lasted a while As Paisley and McGuinness laugh and smile The paramilitaries are supposed to be off the streets They runs their businesses and fiddle balance sheets They are allowed to do their wheeling and dealing The price we pay for the time needed for healing The violence is never too far away Guns and bullets can materialise in a day The Government overlooks the paramilitary crooks Who sell dicey petrol and cook the books The police can't catch the rackateering bosses Who own foreign property and never make losses The builders still have to pay for protection To ensure that their are no delays to erections Woe betide any man or any family Who runs up against any ex paramilitary Just ask the family of young Paul Quinn Murdered by scum, the cardinal sin Robert McCartney's devoted female relations Took their case to many different nations Mr Raymond McCord faced the paramilitaries down Continually they tried to run him out of town Ex terrorists from both sides now make decisions When ordinary folk face government derision The price of peace has been hard to bare Watching terrorists who now pretend to care The votes of the many counted for so much less When compared with the guns that will always impress Violence had reaped dividends in the place that I live The mafia is in charge please dear God forgive | |

You have still got the gift of the gab after obviously many years living in that den of inequity. There are still some small pockets of civilisation left in Ireland, but I'm still looking for them. In the meantime as my thread says I intend to vent my hatred and love in equal amounts. For now the angry head is on.

| Songs of Hate and Love Posted: 10/25/2007 10:04:33 AM | Not to be read by anyone who is more than two or three stone over their usual weight, you have been warned.
Modern society is awash with food, food is too easily and to cheaply available, individuals no longer eat to satisfy hunger and as a result western society is going down the tubes?! Discuss! Write a 10000 word disertation giving academic references, bibliography and footnotes
Obesity
Obesity it's not so very unsurprising Is for ever increasing and continually rising I wonder and ponder and reason why When I hear the obese call out and cry It's not my fault I hear them say I just like cakes, several times a day I can't help it the problem is in the genes My dad was fat and it's not obscene You misunderstand me and label me names I'm not responsible you should feel ashamed Well just who is the cause of all your greed Where does the money come to sustain your feed? Why do you not take personal responsibility Why are you innocent and why should I feel guilty? My kids are awakened at the break of dawn They have no say they are their father's pawns Into the swimming pool they do their lengths To build up their stamina and to give them strength It's an arduous and gruelling programme Designed to help to keep dowen the kilogrammes It does however not have to be this way A walk in the park will suffice each day What goes in may never come out If you sit on the sofa and stuff your snout If you eat massive dinners and sweets and snacks Don't be surprised if your heart gets attacked Everyone now knows how to retain their figure A few brisk walks and some hard rigour To all you fat fathers and chubby mothers What are you doing to your sons and daughters? Do you not care that your are killing them soon As they pile on the weight and look like a balloon Who is responsible for the fruit of your loins Get them outside and start to move your groins It's not my fault you repeatidly say I try to diet almost every single day It's societys fault I am an unwilling victim I just see ice creams and want to lick them I'm not responsible for this medical condition Don't call me fat or you will go to prison It seems we have to be thoughtful so as not to hurt The 35 stone slob who has become so inert But he sits on his ass each and every day Whilst we pay our taxes, huge reductions in pay To pay for their treatment to pay for their food If you don't have an income I think that your should Your actions alone have removed your from society Therefore I care little for your growing anixety There are elderly and disabled who have been given much less They give life a go and go out and impress To the fat businessman who looks like a fool When he drops his trousers and can't see his tool Don't moan, don't make excuses, don't cry, don't whine Your business lunches are responsible and also the wine To the fat momma lounging watching morning TV When you sit at home, it has a cost also to me The cost of the health service is rising beyond belief The working man is slaughtered and has a right to grief I'm not sorry, I hurt myself when I train Everyday running in sun, snow and rain My pain and my dedication give me a right to accuse You who are obese and by your negligence self abuse
The above is clearly not relevant to those who are disabled or have relevant medical conditions like Thyroid problems who given the opportunity would not carry excess weight but suffer through an unjust act of fate. | |
