The Saturday Domestic
The neighbours heard the loud voices and the furniture being broken
It was something that went on with words unspoken
But that Saturday afternoon was different
More than the usual anger being vent
This time a front window was smashed out
Followed by some more screaming and a loud shout
So the neighbours called the police this time
And we attended a domestic disturbance that went over the line
The first thing we saw was a staggering man
Who was coming out not at all grand
A deep rendered cut bloody down
And this time he went to hospital for cuts and bruises he found.
