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.
