Gurgling Radiators

I come home to great works of literature submerged in water Knee deep Dizzee Rascal at the Bull Ring The question is posed to my landlady Why Jesus? The books we've lost, included a variety of subject matter A prickle of hedgehogs and Onion burgers Strip Jack Naked and Tiger Sharks Like the waitress who refused to take the snap Sausage pasta Reading the scorecard and a Refused red envelope Faces bewildered and demented as information comes through both earholes Including who was the reserve umpire You don't need sugar in coffee - you're sweet enough Gag reflexes Shouting from the electric back to the future vehicle Parking too near the rich neighbours NFL referees Tickets to Ride A Christmas dinner pint and anti-malarial scooby snacks Hold this goblet as I go release the floodgates Parked 2km from the restaurant Extortionate parking and other statistics like Put in 50% effort and 50p off a pint 4000 at the Hawthorns Naked Olympics Books submerged (again) in sludge Moved within the day Arteta, the Arsenal manager is asked about superlatives The poet within him replies, "I don't mind adjectives".
