I saw a young professional couple playing Poohsticks on a Cotswold bridge
I watched them walk along the banks of the Windrush eating jasmine ice cream Before heading north to Warwick Arts Centre and Marianne Faithfull, splendid. I picked up all the elastic bands dropped by the postman on my driveway And took them up to the pub on a Thursday evening As that's where he likes to go for the quiz He believes he is needed for the music round His friends obviously humour him Anyway, I place myself at a nearby table And whenever he tries to light up a cigarette I fire it out of his mouth with one of the elastic bands Which he finds most annoying, most annoying.
