MUM, I WANT A TATTOO
“Can I have a tattoo mum?”
That was the question I asked
and the response was unprintable.
I only want one or maybe three or four.
All my mates have them
and most of theirs are home-made messes.
I want a proper one by a talented tattooist.
I don’t want “Love and Hate” or “I love mum”.
I want a panther or a soaring eagle.
I believe it’s called body art today.
It’s so brilliant: all I want is to be part of it.
Well, screw it, I’ll have one done anyhow!
