Humour We Wonder

Humour? Where were you when I was arrested at a public toilet for drinking of a flask of brandy- the man beside me was a police officer out to catch people like me who needed a drink to survive the tedium of living in a provincial town in the middle of a landscape of cows Where were you during the court case when the judge said I was a disgrace, a plague on the backside of humanity drinking in public Is a serious crime, the buffoon thundered threw the gavel at me it hit a guard in the head he who was knocked out Where were you when I had to run gauntlet of jeering reports and people pointed me out in the street and a hush when I entered a café, and the waitress refused to serve me coffee you went to holiday in Spain drinking red wine.
