The Uglies

THE UGLIES He stood slouched and dirty and hopeless She was desperately cigaretteless They were breedless but together Uglified in a natural way altogether Uglicity personified Their mothers would be horrified No homes, no money, just beggarhood Together outside Mc Connel’s fast food (They were prominent users of the toilet) Scrounging cash for chicken nugget - Real chicken - beaks and feet - And stayed for the free cosy heat Sipping my latte and nibbling a waffle Eyeballing his coat maybe won in a raffle They did everything together horribly The pair were well-matched - ugly . I watched how they lowered the tone, Then I left in disgust - alone.
